Essentials: Wi-Fi Sensing Standard Mobilizes Edge AI Use Case
Discover how Wi-Fi sensing leverages signal disturbances for motion detection without cameras. Learn about its privacy-friendly, cost-effective applications and the role of Wi-Fi SoCs in enabling this innovative technology.
Wi-Fi sensing is a relatively new technology for detecting presence and motion without cameras or sensors. It works by analyzing disturbances in the ubiquitous Wi-Fi connectivity signals that permeate home and office environments. Wi-Fi SoCs play a vital role in enabling access to critical channel state information (CSI) which make Wi-Fi sensing possible as well as support for on-device signal processing of motion data. ISPs and partnering software developers have pursued early opportunities to add Wi-Fi sensing as a valuable differentiating service for home monitoring due to the ease of implementation, privacy-preserving nature (since it does not identify individuals), and low cost to rollout.
