The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a wealth of opportunities (and profits!) in many industries. However, four factors limit the possibilities for connected IoT devices, including:
- Designers’ imaginations
- Communication bandwidth
- Radio range
- Battery life
Fortunately, one solution is on the horizon. The IEEE 802.11 Wake-Up Radio Task Group (TGba) is taking aim at extending battery life by reducing Wi-Fi® radio power consumption significantly, stretching battery life from hours to years. (TGba began work in January 2017, is scheduled to issue a “Version 0.1” in November 2017, and a draft standard in March 2018.)
This webinar, based on the forthcoming report, IEEE Technology Report on Wake-Up Radio: An Application, Market, and Technology Impact Analysis of Low-Power/Low-Latency 802.11 Wireless LAN Interfaces, looks at market opportunities and technical challenges for some important use cases, including:
- Smart grids
- Transportation and logistics
- Healthcare
- Smart homes
- Smart cities
The session will show how reducing idling power consumption can have a massive impact on the service life of devices that might otherwise be prohibitively expensive to maintain, and will include a quick look at early TGba technical analyses of power conservation techniques and their impacts. Along the way, the webinar will explore how merging and overlapping IoT sub-markets add up to a $30+ billion dollar opportunity and trillions of dollars of economic impact over the coming decade.
