NOVUS LABS REDPINE SIGNALS WIRELESS INTEROPERABILITY AND POWER CONSUMPTION UNDER CONGESTION ACROSS 100 ROUTERS
●Summary
■Widespread adoption ofSmart IoT devices such as smart locks, video door bells, and smart watches rely on device vendors meeting two key challenges unique to these devices –staying connected securely to their Wi-Fi Access Point (routers) and cloud while adhering to ultra-low power budgets that are much more stringent than a Smartphone. Connectivity and power consumption of an always-ON connection measured under ideal conditions with only a few wireless routers doesn’t show the complete picture. Wireless channel congestion, router make and model, can affect interoperability and power consumption.
■Given the importance of the interoperability and “connected power”metric for IoT devices–Redpine Signals commissioned Novus Labs to evaluate interoperability and power consumption of their silicon by connecting securely across 100 popular wireless routers. For each router a 25-minute test was conducted to check robustness and measure the power consumption and under varying levels of network congestion.The end-results have been tabulated by Novus Labs and can be used by device vendors, looking at using Redpine Wireless chips, as a measure of robustness, to compute battery life under various real-life conditions and predict variations across routers in their user base.
