U-LINC

U-Linc is a British company that recently spun out of the 5G Innovation Centre at the UK’s University of Surrey, which is the most prominent research facility in the UK in development of next generation of mobile and wireless technologies in the IoT space. U-Linc is commercialising an Internet-of-Things Discovery & Interaction technology that it has developed & patented. The technology is an embedded software platform that enables high and dynamic levels of interoperability & behaviour custom... isation in the current highly fragmented IoT market. U-Linc allows for simple and seamless interaction with different smart objects without the need of vendors developing individual applications and interfaces. Utilizing the underlying U-Linc platform, vendors build customized, branded experiences for their customers allowing for total control of their smart devices while offloading the heavy connectivity lift to U-Linc. U-Linc enables people to interact with various smart objects via a smart watch, to tablet, to smartphone, to car’s smart console, etc and using different wireless technologies too The technology enables an IoT-enabled product to dynamically customise a user's experience on the fly. It allows, for example, to adapt the content of the interaction according to time of day, profile of a user, etc to provide differing levels of access rights for monitoring, control and configuration of the IoT-enabled devices in a totally hassle-free manner. It could also provide insights and learnings about the behaviour of such interactions, which is highly beneficial for products future development and better learning the use of your assets. The technology spans applications in any smart environment that simply involves a smart object to interact with; smart mobility, smart manufacturing (Industry 4.0), smart cities, smart home, smart retail, etc. Whilst some of the big names are all active in the home environment, U-Linc’s vision of universal interaction is a much wider one and they aim to make people experience when interacting with various smart objects totally seamless & rich wherever they are, in their homes, walking in smart cities, driving and communication with their smart/connected vehicles, the cars interacting with the smart environment, doing their usual shopping, etcMore
