A system for configuring embedded devices, the system comprising: a backend server; an apparatus to be configured; and a computing device to wirelessly power a portion of the apparatus and to wirelessly transfer configuration data from the backend server to the apparatus; wherein the apparatus comprises: 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 with the power received from the antenna; a network configurer to retrieve the configuration data from the memory and to configure the network interface based on the retrieved configuration data; a power source other than the antenna to provide power to the memory and the network configurer during operation of the network configurer; a radio frequency communicator to communicate, via the antenna, with the computing device to transmit a device identifier of the apparatus to the computing device for forwarding the device identifier of the apparatus to the backend server, to receive the configuration data from the computing device, and to store the configuration data in the memory while being powered via the antenna, wherein the backend server is configured to store the device identifier of the apparatus; and a backend communicator to communicate with the backend server via the network interface based on the configuration data to establish a secure communication session with the backend server, and to transmit the device identifier of the apparatus to the backend server via the secure communication session, via the network interface, for comparison with a list of device identifiers stored in the backend server, and to receive a request for a mutual secure communication session from the backend server and establish the mutual secure communication session based on a result of the comparison. a backend server;
