Rockchip has announced at COMPUTEX Taipei that it has launched the world lowest power WiFi technology RKi6000 jointly developed with a third party. This technology makes WiFi power consumption equal to that of BT4.0 LE (Low Energy). The receiving power consumption is around 20mA during use, which is 85% lower than state-of-the-art WiFi devices for the Internet of Things (IoT), setting a benchmark power consumption level that should renew the standard for WiFi power consumption in IoT smart hardware globally.
