Linksys Subscription Service Uses Mesh Wi-Fi

A Linksys subscription service/app senses motion in mesh Wi-Fi environments without using cameras or additional hardware. The sensing technology is available initially on Linksys tri-band AC2200 routers that use the Velop Intelligent Mesh Wi-Fi network and will be phased in on other mesh routers, said the company Tuesday. "No longer will the router just be a device that enables Internet access in a home,” said Matthew Keasler, product manager. It's pitching the movement-sensing technology as a possible solution for remote elderly care.
