Location, location, location. That tends to describe property values, though it's also critical to the Internet of Things (IoT).

Communication is useful, but knowing where a device or sensor is located can be invaluable information. Global positioning systems (GPS) provide this type of information using satellites and special receivers. However, it doesn't work well indoors and there are some limits outdoors, too. 

Deeyook is working with Wi-Fi chip vendors to make it possible to determine device position via triangulation. I spoke with Gideon Rottem, CEO and Founder at Deeyook, about the company's technology and how it works. 

Deeyook's patented wireless-based firmware uses self-learning AI technology to provide location information with a precision of about 10 cm. It requires support in Wi-Fi access points and delivers absolute position information indoors and outdoors as long as suitable access points are nearby.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.  

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
