Ambient Internet of Things (IoT) is a class of IoT devices powered by harvesting energy from ambient sources.

Companies including PepsiCo , Intel and Qualcomm are working on breakthroughs in the class.

Ambient IoT will allow more battery-less things to be interconnected, using power from radio waves, light, motion, heat, or any other viable ambient energy source.

" One of the most transformative innovations in this space is the elimination of the need for cables to power or recharge batteries in smart, portable devices," said an Infineon spokesperson. "Energy harvesting with ambient IoT is now possible, where power is generated through vibrations from equipment, machinery, and even entire buildings, or from temperature differences between pipes, radiators, valves, and their surrounding environments.".
