Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus to configure embedded devices are described. An example apparatus includes a network interface to communicatively couple the apparatus with a network, an antenna to receive a radio frequency signal including 1) configuration data and 2) power, a memory coupled to the antenna to receive the power and to store the configuration data, a network configurer to retrieve the configuration data from the memory and to configure the network interface based on the retrieved data, and a power source other than the antenna to provide power to the memory and the network configurer during operation of the network configurer.
