UW Long-Range Backscatter Farm

Caption

The communication range of many low-power devices is limited to several feet. The UW's long-range backscatter system's sensor (shown in the foreground) was able to communicate with a receiver (held in the distant background) throughout a one-acre farm, a 4,800-square-foot house and an office area covering 41 rooms.
