Cognitive Systems Corp. announced that its highly-accurate Wi-Fi Motion detection software will be integrated into MaxLinear’s cutting-edge broadband and access SoCs. Through this partnership, Cognitive Systems’ patented Wi-Fi Motion technology will run on MaxLinear chips, enabling Wi-Fi Sensing applications such as home monitoring, wellness monitoring, and smart home automation.
“Service providers are constantly looking for innovative ways to evolve user experience and provide differentiated value for customers,” says Taj Manku, co-founder and CEO of Cognitive Systems. “Together with partners like MaxLinear, we are creating future-forward technologies that will transform the home services industry.”
Since 2014, Cognitive Systems has designed, developed, and implemented the sophisticated Wi-Fi-enabled motion sensing software in market, expanding how Wi-Fi networks are used. The technology leverages connected IoT devices to transform the entire home into a motion-sensing network without any additional hardware. Cognitive Systems first launched a home monitoring solution, called Home Aware, and recently expanded its solutions by launching Caregiver Aware, a revolutionary solution for elder care. In addition to expanding its product portfolio, Cognitive Systems has optimised its rapid integration process. Wi-Fi Motion is now available on most access points. Since 2020, WiFi Motion’s availability has grown to over 2.5M motion-capable devices and is offered by more than 100 service providers.
Cognitive Systems’ WiFi Motion software is implemented as a function of MaxLinear’s suite of gateway and access platforms, including Wi-Fi, fibre, DOCSIS, and xDSL products. MaxLinear’s Wi-Fi solutions including its latest generation Wi-Fi 7 product deliver a fast, reliable, and responsive experience and are well-suited for Wi-Fi-enabled motion detection. Coupled with MaxLinear AnyWAN the single-chip SoC that targets Fibre-to-the-Home, Fixed Wireless Access, DOCSIS, and ethernet gateways and modems services providers and home gateway designers have a set of highly-optimizable access solutions enhanced with functionalities such as Cognitive Systems’ motion sensing, which consumers are coming to expect.
“Service providers are eagerly looking for next-gen Wi-Fi capabilities to gain an advantage in the marketplace,” says Doron Tal, VP broadband access of MaxLinear. “MaxLinear’s robust gateway and access platforms deliver leading user experience consumers expect from their in-home connectivity. Integrating Cognitive Systems’ motion solution into these platforms continues to provide users with an unparalleled experience with connectivity access and a wide range of new home services.”
Through this partnership, Cognitive Systems’ Wi-Fi Motion will be available on nearly every Wi-Fi access point.
MaxLinear’s Wi-Fi Motion-enhanced access point products will be available to Internet Service Providers in H1 2023.
