Taoglas has announced that Lighthouse has incorporated Taoglas antennas to connect its next-generation intelligent home security and monitoring device. The Lighthouse product is a Wi-Fi interactive assistant featuring a next-generation, state-of-the-art camera and sensing platform powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The Lighthouse service captures and interprets actions through the device, then utilizes a cloud-based intelligent platform to provide the owner with always-on, real-time awareness of what’s happening inside the home.
The system utilizes Taoglas’ FXP830 Freedom antenna to provide the performance it needs in a form factor that works with Lighthouse’s aesthetically pleasing design. The Taoglas’ FXP830 Freedom antenna is a high-efficiency, dual-band, dipole antenna for 2.4/4.9-6 GHz band, supporting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The patent-pending antenna is ideal for squeezing into narrow spaces while maintaining high performance. The Freedom antenna is unique in the market because it is made from poly-flexible material and has double-sided 3M tape for easy “peel and stick” mounting.
Reliable connectivity to Wi-Fi within the home is a critical factor in the success of the Lighthouse product, and Lighthouse needed an antenna that could fit in “just the right spot” of the device. Lighthouse also needed custom cable lengths to connect the antennas, and Taoglas was able to quickly supply those using its Cable Wizard, its quick-turn custom cable and antenna assembly operation through its purpose-built, 16,000-foot facility in San Diego.
