Wi-Fi can be used for more than just transmitting and receiving radio waves for device communication. Wi-Fi Sensing repurposes existing Wi-Fi signals to detect motion. This ground-breaking technology operates similar to a radar system, gathering and interpreting environmental dynamics to enable new Wi-Fi services. The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) is proud to introduce
Creates Numerous Use Cases and Monetization Opportunities for Wi-Fi - Pedro Mouta, Manager – PMO As homes and enterprises become increasingly smarter, their dependence upon and interaction with Wi-Fi increases exponentially. Wi-Fi sensing (also known as RF Sensing), a new technology that enables motion detection using existing Wi-Fi signals, is certain to further cement
This blog was submitted to WBA by Hughes Systique Corporation (HSC). In today’s era of rapid digital innovations, guest Wi-Fi is among the most desired amenities across geographies and communities, and therefore, is a critical component of the digital experience for any company. A frictionless Wi-Fi experience is defined by various factors which play an
Pedro Mouta, Manager - PMO When new potential connectivity streams are discussed, the evolution of the In-Flight business case is generally seen as an excellent opportunity. As you might be aware of, this isn’t a new thing; Wi-Fi has been available on selected airplanes for more than a decade now, but truth is
Pedro Mouta, Manager - PMO Most public Wi-Fi networks rely upon short-term or temporary internet access, often initiating new connections with a captive portal mini-browser (CPMB). For instance, CPMBs can be used to glean information from users through login pages, and they’re also used to ensure that users agree to acceptable use policies
Building and retrofitting homes today is vastly different than any other time in history, as homeowners increasingly want their homes to be smart. What “smart” looks like varies across demographics and geographies, ranging from a home equipped with a number of devices that automate tasks normally handled by humans to a home in which
The manufacturing environment is a fluid one with many moving parts, making it the perfect environment for the Internet of Things (IoT). By 2020, discrete manufacturing is expected to spend $40 billion on IoT platforms, systems and services. Moreover, industrial applications lead all industries in IoT adoption, at 45 percent. Wi-Fi 6, the next
This blog is the first in a series highlighting how Wi-Fi 6 impacts different industry segments and verticals. First we focus on carriers. With Wi-Fi 6, the new common name for the IEEE 802.11ax standard, expected later this year, what should operators and network providers expect and how will it impact their technology roadmaps
With the midway point of the year now firmly behind us, 2019 has been nothing short of a benchmark year for the wireless industry. The widespread release of Wi-Fi 6 is imminent; great strides have been made in Wi-Fi deployments across all verticals, including in-flight, in-home, and in vehicles; 6 GHz spectrum is poised
