Provide the IoT ecosystem with RF-based wireless charging

Although the Internet of Things ecosystem continues to grow, its ultimate viability is limited by its current dependence on whether it is near a power source or directly connected to it. Or batteries that are difficult to replace when deploying thousands of devices. For billions of IoT devices, whose inherent value is due to their strategic position in obscure, rugged, and / or extreme places, clinging to bulky charging cables – or the need to change batteries frequently – limits their use, design, and promise. In this conversation, Cesar will delve into wireless charging based on radio frequencies (RF), including how it can alleviate unnecessary IoT reliance on wires and disposable batteries that require constant change.
