Rockchip lauches the most power saving Wifi chipset

In Computex 2015 trade show, Rockchip launched its new wifi. This new technology was introduced to be the most power saving Wifi chipset in the world. When working, its power consumption is only 20Mah, which is reduced by 85% compared with other IoT devices. As the low power consumption, it may be adopted by a lot of tablets pc or smart phones.

Its power consumption is quite similar to Bluetooth 4.0 LE. If adopthing this new Wifi, our IoT devices may adopts button batteries. It will help IoT devices reduce size, and development cost.

Now, the most popular Wifi is from Broadcom, Qualcomm, and TI. Their power consumption is between 59 to 140MA. This Rockchip RKi6000 have big advantage. If using one AAA battery, it can last working for over 35 years.

We believe this RKi6000 will be widely adopted by tablets pc, smart phones, IoT devices, Autos etc.

As Rockchip said, this RKi6000 wifi will be available for sale at the end of this year. And maybe next year, we can see some corresponding products in market.
