Motion Detected: Deal Propels Cognitive Systems into Huge Wi-Fi Market
Waterloo-based Cognitive Systems has embedded its motion-sensing technology into Stanley Black and Decker's new home Wi-Fi router, Omni. Routers equipped with Cognitive’s software, called Aura, can turn every Wi-Fi-connected device in a home into a motion detector, as wireless signals are disturbed when something moves through them. The deal is a significant step for Cognitive, as Wi-Fi chipsets outsell light bulbs by 20%. The partnership between the two firms comes as the number of wireless devices grows and homes become smarter, requiring Wi-Fi routers to take on data applications and home security responsibilities.

Why Today’s Security Cameras Are Already Obsolete
The smart home industry, particularly the security camera market, is witnessing significant growth with an expected global revenue of over $48.5 billion in 2018. Despite popularity, a major issue is the abundance of false alerts from passive cameras. This problem may soon be addressed by innovative technologies such as Lighthouse's 3D sensing and AI capabilities and Cognitive Systems' WiFi-based motion detection. These advancements promise more accurate and real-time monitoring, potentially revolutionizing security applications in homes, schools, and businesses in the near future.
Cognitive Systems: Wi-Fi-Based RF ‘Cognition’ Could Expand to a Host of Use Cases
Canadian startup Cognitive Systems utilizes RF sensing, specifically Wi-Fi signals, to extract motion data from homes, offering a host of valuable use cases. The technology, requiring no additional hardware, can reliably detect motion, distinguishing between pets and humans. Cognitive Systems aims to create a 'Wi-Fi Motion Network' software overlay in collaboration with chipset vendors like Qualcomm and Cypress Semiconductor, providing a low-cost means for intrusion protection and various home monitoring applications. The long-term vision includes Wi-Fi devices forming a comprehensive motion network with potential applications in public spaces and businesses, leading to advanced RF imaging solutions in the future.
