Abstract
An apparatus can include universal serial bus type C (USB-C) connection circuitry. The apparatus can also include input/output (I/O) circuitry coupled to the USB-C connection circuitry. The I/O circuitry can receive a power signal over the USB-C connection circuitry. The apparatus can include baseband circuitry to initiate wireless wide area network (WWAN) communication responsive to receiving a wake signal from the I/O circuitry. The WWAN communication can include messages received from the USB-C connection circuitry. Other apparatuses, systems, and methods are described.
