Wi-Fi Mesh Network Systems

Wi-Fi Mesh Network Systems have been around for years, but they are becoming more popular as people become increasingly aware of the issues with traditional router systems. A mesh network is a system in which multiple routers work together to create one extensive wireless network covering most of your home or office.

The routers communicate wirelessly and do not need to be hardwired into a modem. Some Wi-Fi Mesh Networks on the market right now are TP-Link Deco M9 Plus Mesh Wi-Fi System, Amazon Eero Pro 6 and Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 System AX6000 (RBK852).

Smart Clothing

Smart clothing is a new technology that turns clothes into sensors, so the information from these garments can measure and monitor various health indicators. This allows people to track vital signs such as heart rate, respiration levels and even body temperature. In addition, smart clothing can be used for fitness tracking, monitoring workout intensity and calories burned during exercise.

Sensoria fitness socks are a new concept in the fitness world that may be the next big thing. They are based on Sensoria’s unique technology, which provides feedback to your feet while you exercise. Sensoria tech is built into the soles of their premium fitness footwear and clothing collection, making it possible for users to get real-time data about their runs and workouts.
