Organizations including Qualcomm and Wiliot have announced the formation of the Ambient IoT Alliance, a multi-standard ecosystem of ambient IoT manufacturers, suppliers, integrators, operators, users, and customers.<\/p>\n

Ambient IoT is an ecosystem for devices that draw energy from ambient radio waves, light, motion, heat, or any other widely available, pervasive source. Bluetooth, 5G Advanced, and 802.11bp could help support this class of devices, which offers high scalability and, potentially, lower costs than non-ambient versions, the alliance said. The term ambient IoT could apply to a wide variety of  \u201cbattery-less things,\u201d such as sensors for location, temperature, and humidity.<\/p>\n

In the press release, the Ambient IoT Alliance said their ecosystem is not meant to replace any other standardization activities; instead, the group will promote ambient IoT and contribute documentation, support, and use cases to standardization efforts where appropriate.<\/p>\n
