Low power Wi-Fi technology will make the smart home network a lot simpler by eliminating the need for an expensive hub and solving the issue of protocol fragmentation. Dialog is disrupting the smart home industry with its low power Wi-Fi technology. The DPM algorithms based on Dialog’s VirtualZero technology allow IoT devices to have a year of battery life or even more. This effectively makes Wi-Fi a great alternative to both Zigbee and Z-wave.
