OPPO Zero Power Tag Showcased at MWC 2023
The OPPO Zero Power Tag prototype was showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2023 earlier this week. OPPO Zero-Power Tag is a prototype device based on OPPO Zero-power Communication technology. The tag uses key technologies such as RF signal harvesting, backscattering, and low-power computing. The tag harvests radio waves from the surrounding area to power its own functionality and communicate battery-free in order to meet the diverse needs of IoT in the coming 6G era, which is at least a couple of years from now.
The interesting thing here is that the OPPO Zero Power Tag comes can operate battery-free, which will be its biggest advantage over the other rivals. OPPO also demonstrated Zero-Power Tag’s capabilities in item identification and positioning, and data collection from temperature sensors 一 both powered by RF energy.
However, the company has not shared any images of the tracking device yet. A report from Gadgets360 says that the OPPO Zero Power Tag looks like a visitor’s ID card and functions in a manner that is very similar to Apple’s AirTag or a Tile tracker. From the images, the tracker looks like an access card that many companies use. While the card is operated without a battery, the size of the tag is quite big compared to other trackers.
