Abstract
An integrated storage device for transferring data between a remote base station and an appliance, includes a non-volatile storage device configured for storing the data, an antenna and a processor arrangement. The antenna is configured for wirelessly receiving electrical energy from the remote base station in order to power the non-volatile storage device. The antenna is also configured for transferring the data between the remote base station and the non-volatile storage device. The processor arrangement is permanently operationally connected to the non-volatile storage device. The processor arrangement is configured to manage data transfer between the non-volatile storage device and the appliance when the processor arrangement is electrically connected to a power supply via a wired power link.
