Unpredictability is a natural part of scavenging RF energy for an Internet of Everyday Things. However, the advantages of self-sustainability—and battery-free self-sustainability at that—are too enormous to ignore, particularly when it comes to promoting a more environmentally friendly planet.

In the near future, requirements for what the telco industry is referring to as “Massive IoT” will probably be included in wireless standards, such as the next generation 6G, to enable a world with leaner supply chains, traceability, and real-time inventory. Fortunately, there are now solutions.

Engineers have developed a platform allowing everything to be smart through an architecture that absorbs existing RF energy, decreases power consumption to nanowatts, and communicates when the energy becomes available. Self-powered tags result in significantly higher supply chain efficiency and product.
