Reduced power wireless wake on connection

An information handling device, comprising:

• a low power wireless communication subsystem;
• a higher power wireless communication subsystem;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors that stores instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
• receiving, at the low power wireless communication subsystem of the information handling device, a beacon from a connectable device;
• determining, with the low power wireless communication subsystem, if the received beacon warrants executing a communication protocol;
• in response to determining the received beacon warrants executing a communication protocol, powering on a main system component and the higher power wireless communication subsystem;
• and
• establishing a wireless connection between the higher power wireless communication subsystem and the connectable device.

A program product, comprising:

• a storage medium having computer program code embodied therewith, the computer program code comprising:
• computer program code configured to receive, at a low power wireless communication subsystem of an information handling device, a beacon from a connectable device;
• computer program code configured to determine, with the low power wireless communication subsystem, if the received beacon warrants executing a communication protocol;
• computer program code configured to, in response to determining the received beacon warrants executing a communication protocol, powering on a main system component and a higher power wireless communication subsystem;
• and
• computer program code configured to establish a wireless connection between the higher power wireless communication subsystem and the connectable device.
