What Is WiFi Sensing and What Can It Do?

What Is WiFi Sensing and What Can It Do?

WiFi sensing, a form of short-range passive radar technology, is gaining prominence beyond internet access, offering applications like motion detection and monitoring. Cognitive Systems, a leader in WiFi sensing, enables motion-sensing services for 37 ISPs globally. WiFi sensing measures how WiFi signals interact with movement, leveraging existing devices like smartphones and PCs. With applications ranging from security monitoring to patient care, WiFi sensing operates in infrastructure or ad-hoc modes and can be active or passive. While promising, challenges include susceptibility to interference and resource depletion under heavy traffic. Despite hurdles, WiFi sensing is already finding applications in home intrusion detection, patient monitoring, and more.
Wi-Fi Sensing Adds Motion Detection and Gesture Recognition to Your Wireless Network

Wi-Fi Sensing Adds Motion Detection and Gesture Recognition to Your Wireless Network

Wi-Fi sensing, a technology that utilizes wireless networks to detect environmental changes, offers alternatives for monitoring spaces without invading privacy. By processing signals from various Wi-Fi devices, Wi-Fi sensing can detect motion, presence, and other changes. Possible applications include security, elder care, home automation, and gesture recognition. The technology, still in its early stages, lacks standardization, hindering its full potential. Efforts are underway, including the IEEE 802.11 Working Group's amendment to support Wi-Fi sensing, to address gaps and establish standards for increased functionality, interoperability, and reliability.
For the IoT, User Anonymity Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought. It Should Be Baked In From the Start

For the IoT, User Anonymity Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought. It Should Be Baked In From the Start

Certain Internet of Things (IoT) businesses are adopting an "anonymity by design" approach, focusing on creating products that discard personally identifiable information from the start. Instead of anonymizing data after the fact, these companies aim to design products that make it impossible for them to identify individuals. For instance, Density, which developed a people-counting sensor, uses depth-perceiving sensors to count people based on height differentials, avoiding the need for cameras and concerns about surveillance. Cognitive Systems, which interprets Wi-Fi signal disruptions to understand movements, emphasizes processing data locally and avoiding the transmission of identifiable information to the cloud, addressing privacy concerns from the outset.
What is WiFi Motion?

What is WiFi Motion?

Motion detection using your existing Wi-Fi. WiFi Motion™ provides whole home awareness by sensing and deciphering movement anywhere Wi-Fi signals are present. All you need is a router with WiFi Motion software and all your connected smart devices will automatically double as motion sensors. Best of all, it’s easy! You don’t need to install a bunch of new hardware. Upgrades are seamless. It will never be obsolete. You won’t even notice it’s running, and your privacy is always protected.
