True to its name, <a href=\"http:\/\/passivewifi.cs.washington.edu\/\">Passive WiFi in detail<\/a>, describes a system that removes some of the expensive circuits off board to reduce power consumption. Yes, the home station &#8211; or the plugged in WiFi host will require additional power. Still that device can be shared across a dozen or more passive wifi devices reducing the overall system costs. True Innovation.
