Smart objects: can magnetic waves serve as battery alternatives?

Oppo is working on solutions using magnetic waves to power connected objects. — Oppo

In a new white paper dedicated to zero-energy communications, Oppo envisions the future of connected objects charged using waves already present in their environment, rather than via traditional batteries. This would enable the development of sustainable devices that are less harmful to the environment.

In terms of both practicality and environmental friendliness, over-consumption of battery power is a real problem. The ideal would be to design future connected objects without batteries that are able to capture energy in another way. This is the vision of Chinese manufacturer Oppo.
