Yes - the Wifi modem is powered down when the processor enters the "suspend" state.

But -
There is a "low power" state which leaves the processor running and still have USB networking up (and wifi powered down).
(Note: At least on the K4 there is, haven't tested others.)

OR -
Maybe just put a "Last report taken at: date/time" on the display before going into full suspend mode.

Translation: This little project could use someone with the time to play with it a bit more. Still has possibilities to be explored.
