Espressif CEO among richest Singaporeans
Among the new faces this year is Binny Bansal, the co- founder of Indian shopping site Flipkart, who moved to Singapore last year after selling the firm to Walmart and is now a venture capitalist. While three of the four newcomers are billionaires, the fortune of Teo Swee Ann, cofounder and CEO of fast-rising semiconductor firm Espressif Systems, is just shy of the ten-digit mark.

A 28µW IoT Tag that can Communicate with Commodity WiFi Transceivers via a Single-Side-Band QPSK Backscatter Communication Technique
More portable, fully wireless smart home setups. Lower power wearables. Batteryless smart devices. These could all be made possible thanks to a new ultra-low power Wi-Fi radio developed by electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego.
The device, which is housed in a chip smaller than a grain of rice, enables Internet of Things (IoT) devices to communicate with existing Wi-Fi networks using 5,000 times less power than today’s Wi-Fi radios. It consumes just 28 microwatts of power. And it does so while transmitting data at a rate of 2 megabits per second (a connection fast enough to stream music and most YouTube videos) over a range of up to 21 meters.
The team will present their work at the ISSCC 2020 conference Feb. 16 to 20 in San Francisco.
Qualcomm intros ultra-low-power modem chip for IoT devices
Qualcomm Inc. will ship a new modem chip for so-called internet of things devices this year that measures smaller than a dime and is touted as the most power-efficient product in its category.
The chip, descriptively named the Qualcomm 212 LTE IoT Modem, was announced on Thursday. It’s designed to enable internet access on connected devices that need to operate for long time periods using a limited amount of electricity. Agricultural sensors, smart parking meters and package tracking devices are some of the systems that could potentially make use of the chip.
ZETA alliance members to produce low power consumption disposable IoT tags
Socionext, ZiFiSense, a founder of LPWA (Low Power Wide Area Network) standard ZETA, and Techsor have jointly started the development of SoCs for ZETag, a next generation, low cost, low power consumption IC tag.
Most of the IC tags currently in use are passive tags, which do not have a power supply. However, existing active tags cost around several tens of dollars, and transmission distance is less than 100 meters.
In comparison, the ZETag transmission can reach several kilometers, its cost will be reduced to the extent that the tags can be used as disposable.
