1、Andrew Zignani:Research Director Andrew Spivey:Industry AnalystTHE COMMERCIAL MARKET VALUE FOR WI-FI SENSINGINTRODUCTIONWi-Fi Sensing is a nascent technology that leverages Radio Frequency(RF)signals from pre-existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to detect presence and motion.The technology has undergone ra
2、pid development,progressing from a mere academic theory a decade ago,to one of the most competitive positioning solutions currently on the market today.The final standardization of Wi-Fi Sensing(802.11bf)by the IEEE is on track for September 2024,at which time Wi-Fi will evolve from a communication-
3、only standard to a dual-function technology that forms a fundamental component of the future of Integrated Sensing and Communication(ISAC).The enhanced capabilities of Wi-Fi,combining communication and sensing,will raise the overall value of Wi-Fi deployments and devices over the coming decade and l
