Wireless Technology
Sensing technology will no doubt continue to evolve and improve in the future through the use of higher frequencies and better algorithms. It is expected to converge with Wi-Fi 7 and the upcoming 6G, which is currently under development. These will lead to a number of important applications within the industrial sector, such as precise robotics localisation and the navigation of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) within factories and warehouses. These are portable robots which follow set wires or lines along the fl oor, with some utilising radio waves, vision cameras, magnets and lasers for navigational purposes. They are often deployed in applications where heavy materials require transporting across large facilities.
For remote monitoring and perimeter security, existing measures will be enhanced through gait recognition, a powerful biometric component for identifi cation. Facility usage data and employee counting can be automated to determine precise capacity utilisation, maximising the output of industrial operations. Once higher accuracy has been achieved through Wi-Fi sensing, health monitoring applications will be able to look out for signs of illness like sneezing, drowsiness, irregular breathing and even,
some experiments suggest, irregular heartbeats. The sensing system could be taught to recognise different gestures, providing another intuitive way in addition to voice recognition, for humans to communicate with digital systems.
A ‘prpl’ patch in development The CPE ecosystem is eagerly awaiting the upcoming standard. The prpl Foundation is currently building a carrier-grade, open- source CPE software stack, and has included
Wi-Fi sensing technology as a crucial element of its product roadmap going forward. Open-source organisations like prpl will play an important role in further enhancing the capabilities of this technology: Implementing a stable, high-level application programming interface (API) to the CPE as an open CPE operating system will help drive further innovation and industry adoption. It will enable telecoms organisations, start-ups
and application developers to implement unique, value-added location-based features. The abilities and benefits Wi-Fi sensing will bring to users - whether in the home or in industrial settings - indicates the true potential of this technology, going beyond simply the provisioning of reliable internet to make a significant difference in the daily lives of its users.
