Infineon and Deeyook jointly enable precise location solution with low-power Wi-Fi chipset

January 6, 2022

Munich, Germany, and Tel Aviv, Israel โ€“ 5 January, 2022 โ€“ Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) and Deeyook today announced their collaboration on location solutions. The location-as-a-service (LaaS) company has invented and patented an award-winning tracking solution to determine indoor and outdoor locations of items, assets, and employees. Both companies fuse Deeyookโ€™s ultra-precise, innovative algorithms into Infineonโ€™s best-in-class, low power AIROCโ„ข Wi-Fiยฎ portfolio to enable an accurate, passive, ubiquitous, and efficient location solution.

Deeyook redefines indoor/outdoor location technology through innovation in wireless signal processing, applicable to incumbent Wi-Fi/4G/5G MODEM firmware versions. The firmware extracts angles of wireless transmissions (โ€œDirection Finding, DFโ€), a first of its kind in the world of commercial wireless tracking. Deeyookโ€™s tracking capabilities are ultra-precise, providing location information within 10cm/4in, passively exploiting the install base of 1.7 billion wireless access points worldwide.

โ€œThere are many challenges when companies implement real-time location systems, primarily because tracking solutions, such as RFID, are not really ubiquitous. This is particularly acute with GPS, which has many shortcomings,โ€ said Gideon Rottem, CEO and Co-Founder of Deeyook. โ€œWe created Deeyook to address these challenges โ€“ technology that is ubiquitous and can track things with the utmost precision indoors, outdoors and in bad weather. We are excited to work with Infineon because its AIROC Wi-Fi portfolio is reliable, power efficient, and they are the IoT market leader.โ€

โ€œInfineonโ€™s mission is to make the world an easier, safer and greener place with our technologies through smart, connected devices,โ€ said Sivaram Trikutam, Senior Director, IoT Compute and Wireless, Infineon Technologies. โ€œThese new IoT solutions support multiple location tracking technologies. Previously, Wi-Fi was not considered a viable option due to its power demands, while additionally real-time locating systems (RTLS) deployments required businesses to utilize custom solutions with costly infrastructure, engineering, and labor-intensive installation.โ€

Deeyookโ€™s solution paved the way to solve all these problems. Embedded in the next-generation chip firmware, it has the potential to be a market leader in RTLS. With this collaboration, Infineon continues to expand its role as a key Industry 4.0 solution vendor to the worldโ€™s largest corporations.
