Key Points
• Smaller IoT devices deployed at the
edge need to be especially power
efficient, and may employ batteries or
energy harvesting to operate in short
bursts of activity.
• The more intelligent the edge device, the
more complex the requirements become,
as more data processing is done locally.
• Power management plays a role in the
safe operation of devices, especially in
industrial environments for applications
like condition monitoring.
