ambient devices








 

In-Car Navigation
Most high-end automobile offer in-car navigation. The overlay of realtime traffic is a must-have feature for next-generation systems. Portable Navigation Devices that offer this game-changing technology will emerge in the next two years.

Ambient is the best way to send traffic information to these devices for two reasons. First, Ambient has least expensive telemetry chipset, and secondly we offer a wireless service that does not require monthly subscriptions.
And in addition to traffic, our always-on bit trickling stream can update on-board maps as new roads are built, points of interest change or have special offers and gas prices fluctuate.



Energy Pricing
Extending dynamic energy pricing down to the customer level is an important facet of the world's management of energy. California utilities alone plan to spend over $3.6b on programs in the next four years on such demand management programs to increase conservation, reduce the next big brownout, and delay the need for expensive infrastructure buildouts.

Ambient's network provides a realtime update of dynamic energy to the customer level without the installation problems or "big brother" issues of some other systems. The technology has been piloted in southern California and shown that the impact of the program at peak energy usage doubles.

Weather
Weather is an increasing competitive, $3 billion dollar market where players yearn for innovation to differentiate their new product lines. Weather stations, alone a $450m market annually, have relied on only local sensors to display indicators such as current temperature and barometric pressure to their consumers via LCD displays. There is an opportunity, through Ambient’s bit-trickling wireless, to provide the additional information that is expected in other weather media outlets (TV, radio, Internet) such as 5day weather forecasts, feels-like temperatures, pollen, and air quality.

Ambient is the least expensive way for a licensee to add weather and pollen/airquality forecasts to thermostats, clock radios, air purifiers, whitegoods, stereos, phones or any consumer electronics product.
