Passive Wi-Fi more energy efficient than conventional Wi-Fi, ZigBee and Bluetooth LE

Passive Wi-Fi transmissions could extend the battery life of mobile devices

While it's become a necessity of modern life, Wi-Fi is also an energy hog, draining the batteries of all those connected devices surrounding us. That may change with the recent demonstration by University of Washington researchers of Wi-Fi transmissions generated using 10,000 times less power than conventional methods. Known as Passive Wi-Fi, the system also uses 1,000 times less power than current energy-efficient wireless communication platforms, like ZigBee and Bluetooth LE.
