Wi-Fi
backscattering is a low-power communications technology that uses radio
frequency (RF) signals as a power source and reuses the existing Wi-Fi
infrastructure to provide RF-powered devices with Internet
connectivity.
The technology consumes
significantly less power than Wi-Fi typically requires, because it uses Wi-Fi
as a carrier for its own signal. By selectively reflecting existing RF
signals, the technology can provide battery-powered devices, like sensors,
with Wi-Fi connectivity -- while also eliminating the need for the sensor's
battery to be recharged or perhaps even exist at all. The reflected signals,
which are called backscatter, create a pattern of stronger and weaker signals
that can be detected among the original Wi-Fi signals by specially tuned
Wi-Fi routers.
Wi-Fi backscattering's low-bit rate network capacity and low
power requirements make it suitable for applications like Internet of Things
(IoT), WSAN (wireless sensor and actuator networks), machine-to-machine (M2M)
networking and RF-powered computing. Research for developing the technology
is being funded by the National Science Foundation, the University of
Washington, the University of Washington Commercialization Gap Fund, the
Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship and the Washington Research Foundation. |

In addition to this blog, I maintain a radio show on BlogtalkRadio and an online newsletter via paper.li.I have established Netiquette discussion groups with Linkedin and Yahoo. I am also a member of the International Business Etiquette and Protocol Group and Minding Manners among others. I regularly consult for the Gerson Lehrman Group, a worldwide network of subject matter experts and I have been contributing to the blogs Everything Email and emailmonday . My work has appeared in numerous publications and I have presented to groups such as The Breakfast Club of NJ and PSG of Mercer County, NJ.
I am the president of Tabula Rosa Systems,
a “best of breed” reseller of products for communications, email,
network management software, security products and professional
services. Also, I am the president of Netiquette IQ. We are currently developing an email IQ rating system, Netiquette IQ, which promotes the fundamentals outlined in my book.
Over the past twenty-five years, I have enjoyed a dynamic and successful career and have attained an extensive background in IT and electronic communications by selling and marketing within the information technology marketplace.Anyone who would like to review the book and have it posted on my blog or website, please contact me paul@netiquetteiq.com.
