OPPO envisions a future where devices without battery will run passively

A new white paper released by OPPO shares the company’s vision for a battery-free future for low-power IoT (Internet of Things) devices., Like the Reports Android Authority.

according to OppoIn the future, we may use devices that can do this They get their power directly from Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cell phone signals Instead of a built-in battery. OPPO rename Zero power contacts Communication devices without power.

According to the company, the communication devices that do not require power “Without battery, very compact, very low cost and can have very low power consumption“.No power communication devices can reduce overall battery usage, reducing the maintenance costs and pollution we face today with current devices.”

There are many ways to use the zero energy technology. According to OPPO, Zero-Power technology can be used in clothing, allowing it to power passively. Zero-energy communication devices can also be used for transportation, as connected household appliances, positioning beacons, and even for long-range tracking of migratory birds.

OPPO’s vision of using air-powered devices is not new.

emerging technology

Devices using analog technology have already been introduced by Samsung, Xiaomi and Motorola. At CES 2022, Samsung announced its latest eco-friendly remote control, which picks up 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signals from its surroundings to power itself, eliminating the need for batteries.

Although OPPO talks about passively powering the devices, its Zero-Power technology may not be able to provide the power needed to charge smartphones. OPPO’s technology is also different from what Xiaomi and Motorola introduced and called “air charging” technology, which allows smartphones to be charged remotely using a dedicated terminal that emits targeted low-level radio frequency waves.

It remains to be seen what happens over the next decade, but This technology is likely to witness major developments from major technology companies To provide battery-free devices that can connect more efficiently, provide extremely low energy consumption and reduce costs.
