Powering Ambient IoT Bluetooth Devices with Backscatter | Mr. Beacon Podcast

There’s more than one way to get rid of batteries on an Ambient IoT device. Jeeva’s CEO explains their approach and how the technology was incubated by the University of Washington. How does this technology differ from that of Wiliot’s battery-free solution? It all comes down to backscatter, or reflective energy from existing RF signals. https://bit.ly/3NJhhel
