The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to optimize today's segmented Internet architecture by providing a cohesive software platform that operates on WiFi Access Points. The proposed technology transforms the WiFi Access Point to provide new applications and services locally for home users and for small and medium businesses. It has many benefits for its end users, e.g. applications that can better protect privacy of users, the ability to better protect children as they browse the Internet, and the creation of new applications supporting home automation, security, and entertainment.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is creating unique technology that allows a commodity WiFi Access Point to become a multi-function device by transforming it as an edge-computing platform. It enables lightweight virtualization that allows multiple third-party services to co-exist through resource isolation and sharing. It also enables advanced RF management by which interference from diverse wireless emitters (e.g. WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, game controllers, and even microwave ovens) can be detected, quantified, and mitigated.

小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力是通过提供在WiFi接入点上运行的凝聚力软件平台来优化当今的细分互联网架构。这项拟议的技术将改造WiFi接入点，为家庭用户和中小型企业提供本地新的应用和服务。它为最终用户带来了许多好处，例如，可以更好地保护用户隐私的应用程序，能够在儿童浏览互联网时更好地保护他们，以及创建支持家庭自动化、安全和娱乐的新应用程序。这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目正在创造独特的技术，通过将商品WiFi接入点转变为边缘计算平台，使其成为多功能设备。它支持轻量级虚拟化，允许多个第三方服务通过资源隔离和共享共存。它还支持高级射频管理，通过该管理可以检测、量化和缓解来自不同无线发射器(例如WiFi、蓝牙、ZigBee、游戏控制器甚至微波炉)的干扰。
