Low Power WiFi for IoT Devices

In the rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT), many devices and applications (like: personal electronics, sensors etc.) get wirelessly connected to the Internet. These applications covering dozens of use cases, in various environments and serve diverse requirements. Power consumption is one of the major barriers for wireless internet connectivity today, but new silicon devices and modules reduce a lot of the barriers for achieving low power WiFi solution and enable Wi-Fi integration into emerging IoT applications and battery operated devices. WiFi IoT device average energy consumption is significantly impacted by both the Access Point (AP) behavior and the network performance. explores the contributing factors to energy consumption, as well as the underlying design considerations.
