What Does it Take for Accurate, Reliable Wi-Fi Sensing
In the rapidly evolving field of WiFi Sensing, it is critical to establish foundational processes, systems, and structures that ensure robust technology. A product must not only be intelligent but also dependable. WiFi Motion is no exception. That is why at Cognitive, we have always placed equal importance on AI (artificial intelligence) and QA (quality assurance) when building WiFi Motion. WiFi Sensing enables applications in some of the most intimate environments, like your home, where it is critical that services operate reliably to ensure customer comfort. We have drawn on our leadership team's decades of QA and software testing experience to ensure that our approach to developing our WiFi Sensing technology and its various applications is as accurate and reliable as possible while working to learn alongside its users

What Will the Future of the Smart Home Look Like?
The desire for a smart home is rapidly shifting from the future to the present, with 81 percent of consumers more likely to buy a new home equipped with smart technology. Devices are at the heart of the smart home. Comfort, efficiency, information, entertainment, security, and other desired functions must all come from a connected ecosystem of devices working together in the home. But, with much of the Jetsons' futuristic technology now being realised, what is preventing us from fully embracing the smart home? We have yet to develop truly integrated devices capable of flawlessly interfacing and interacting with one another to provide enhanced smart home functionality.
Expert Insights from the 2022 Wireless Global Congress on Wi-Fi Sensing: A Panel Summary
In the first week of June, at the Wireless Broadband Alliance’s (WBA) Wireless Global Congress in Chicago, we connected with some of the greatest minds in Wi-Fi. Not only were we thrilled to hear directly from the biggest movers in our industry, but we also had the opportunity to lead a panel discussion with Cable Labs’ Josh Redmore about driving digital growth with the Wi-Fi revolution and securing new opportunities in the Wi-Fi Sensing market. Joining Josh, Christopher Beg, our Senior Wireless Systems Architect (Radio Standards), served as an expert on his involvement with the WBA in their sensing groups, standardization efforts, and whitepaper publication. Geordie Hagerman, our EVP Commercialization, answered key questions about Wi-Fi Sensing, Wi-Fi Motion, and possible future applications of the technology.
Wi-Fi Trends in 2022- Connecting People, Things, and Environment
Wi-Fi Sensing is a type of short-range sensing technology that uses radio waves to detect the presence of other wireless signals. It can detect signals in a single room that are 70 feet away, which is equivalent to the range of a human sense of smell. The standardization of Wi-Fi Sensing will facilitate mass adoption, leading to key industry growth and scalability from proven commercial potential and key industry partnerships.
