Zero Power Communication Technology by OPPO enables devices to harvest ambient radio signals from sources such as TV towers, FM radio towers, cellular base stations, and WiFi access points as their source of power.

RF harvesting does technically exist already, which OPPO has acknowledged in its introductory ZPC press release. But In its current state, RF harvesting has restrictions related to coverage, which Oppo has claimed to address via its Zero-Power Communication. Oppo also asserts that its new version is a hybrid approach involving the use of RF from cellular sources and the sidelink technique has the potential to be more effective and also developer-ready at this point.
