Intel® Remote Wake Technology

Intel Corporation recently made known an innovative power-saving technology called Remote Wake that will allow operational computers to snooze in a power-saving mode ,like a sexy lady on wait, until an appropriate message is received over the Internet, either via a VoIP call or another messaging medium. The Wake on LAN protocol has been around for some years, allowing computers with the right Ethernet card and software to monitor a network even while sleeping for a Sleeping Beauty like magic kiss. But here, Remote Wake goes far beyond that. Intel Remote Wake Technology is built upon the Intel® Manageability Engine. Consumers can remotely wake up home PCs from 'energy efficient' sleep mode over the internet from an enabled application or service. This unique feature enhances many existing usages such as remote media access, remote downloads, Instant Messaging, and accepting VOIP calls.

Intel is working with Jajah, CyberLink, Orb Networks and Pando Networks. Because of Remote Wake, a PC will also be able to make and receive calls over the JAJAH network and wake up from sleep mode to receive a call. This is improvement over the current scenario, where you can’t quite use your PC as your phone, because when it’s in sleep mode, you miss the calls. Pando’s service could deliver video at a dedicated time to a PC after waking it up remotely, an option that could make Pando quite viable as a desktop-oriented content delivery network.

Remote Wake would have to maintain a persistent network connection with a central server to function as Intel intends, as most computers in homes are behind Network Address Translation (NAT) gateways that prevent direct access. It's possible that a combination of UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and Remote Wake are required to leave an external port on the Internet-facing side of the gateway active, which can be used to route traffic to the dozing system. The home PC's Internet configuration requires a router connected to the PC via an Ethernet cable. Requires third party applications and services enabled for Intel® Remote Wake Technology.

Remote Wake could be used to let a computer sleep unless there's a download needed, a user wanted to access files (like media to stream) from a home computer, or a call was coming in via VoIP. Remaining in a standby instead of active state could reduce usage by hundreds of watts a day for a computer that's normally left on in a full-power mode with its monitor off.

Standby modes need to be made more efficient, too. The standby modes of all home electronics, including televisions, toaster ovens with electronic displays, and wall warts for DC conversion consumers hundreds of terawatt hours per year, the output of hundreds of power plants. Standby power can't be eliminated entirely, of course, but newer equipment and smarter engineering could drop standby power use by 90 percent or more.

Energy consumption has become a key topic worldwide, and consumer awareness around energy efficient performance is mixed. The problem facing many consumers who want to take advantage of innovative applications and services is whether or not to leave the PC on or turn the PC off. Intel® Remote Wake Technology solves this problem.
