University of Washington Engineers Created Passive Wi-Fi, Able To Transmit Wi-Fi Signal Using 10,000 Times Less Power Than Conventional Wi-Fi devices

Wi-Fi signal is almost everywhere around us, completely coating most urban areas. It became a sort of a street light for our generation; you can connect to one almost anywhere, allowing you to be washed by the bright light of bandwidth. The problem with Wi-Fi is the technology uses too much energy. Maintaining the connection drains batteries, making connected devices to relatively quickly run out of power. It can be problematic, especially for devices packing humble batteries, like smartphones. Now, a team consisting out of computer scientists and electrical engineers from the University of Washington made Passive Wi-Fi, able to
