Wi-Fi Sensing: Not a Threat to Personal Privacy Any Time Soon, nor Possibly Ever, Experts Confirm
Wi-Fi sensing, a technology detecting motion through disturbances in Wi-Fi signals, is gaining traction among home broadband ISPs. Despite concerns about privacy, experts argue that linking Wi-Fi sensing signals to identifiable persons is currently science fiction. Cognitive Systems' CEO, Taj Manku, emphasizes Wi-Fi sensing's privacy benefits compared to camera-based solutions. The technology provides basic movement insights, like unexpected motion, through anonymized and encrypted data. Renowned telco analyst Dean Bubley supports the notion that Wi-Fi sensing poses minimal privacy risks compared to other motion-sensing technologies. The IEEE and industry players, including Cognitive Systems, are working on standardizing Wi-Fi sensing through the 802.11bf standard, aiming to enhance efficiency and reliability in motion detection applications.
The Next Big Wi-Fi Standard Is for Sensing, Not Communication
Explore the future of Wi-Fi with IEEE's 802.11bf standard. Designed for sensing, it detects people or objects in physical spaces using math. Compatible with 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 60 GHz bands, it enables applications like smart home motion detection. The standardized version is in the works, promising seamless integration into devices within three years. Wi-Fi sensing offers 99.999% accuracy in motion detection and 90% accuracy in spatial location, making it a game-changer for smart homes, enterprises, and retail. Embrace Wi-Fi's evolution beyond traditional data transmission.
Expert Says 6 Ghz Spectrum Is ‘The Biggest Wi-Fi Advancement in 20 Years’ for Canada
Canada is set to boost Wi-Fi with new spectrum in the 6 GHz range, tripling current capacity for faster speeds and introducing Wi-Fi 6E devices. While not faster than Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E supports wider channels, akin to expanding a highway for parallel traffic. The move addresses congestion and enhances applications like IoT and Wi-Fi sensing. The Wi-Fi Alliance predicts a global Wi-Fi value of $4.9 trillion by 2025. Wi-Fi 6E devices, categorized by power, will roll out indoors by end 2021 and outdoors in early-to-mid 2022. Despite Wi-Fi 6E's arrival, Wi-Fi 7 is anticipated by 2024, promising further bandwidth improvements.
