Opportunity Sought

Explore new opportunities for AUMOVIO’s wireless technologies

Today, the organization’s wireless competency is primarily applied in automotive connectivity and sensing for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers, with strong presence in Asia-Pacific (APAC) and ASEAN markets.

Current focus includes ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication), Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), and        

Moving forward, new opportunities lie in smart infrastructure (connected roads, traffic systems), urban air mobility (drone logistics), and heavy-duty industrial vehicles for mining and agriculture.

The team should Prioritize APAC and ASEAN for early adoption; explore Europe and North America for standardization-driven markets.  Division Focus: Automotive remains core; avoid deep expansion into consumer electronics (already saturated and outside strategic fit).

Some of the questions that the team will be looking at are::

1. What are the untapped market opportunities for these wireless technologies?
2. Who could be the potential customers?
3. What are the potential business models?

Exploring new applications that can benefit from the ability to effortlessly provision access & track the right person/object/asset at the right time

igloo (www.igloocompany.co) provides smart access solutions to customers around the world. It began as a way to make key handovers easier for Airbnb hosts and has since evolved into managing access for both consumer and enterprise customers.

For the last 8 years, we’ve been capitalizing on the success of our AlgoPin technology that is core and unique to our devices. This feature has allowed us to win over competition, deploying over 500,000 devices globally.

Every customer of igloo has the choice of three software platforms: igloohome, iglooworks, or integration solutions. igloohome is our consumer mobile app, where we allow our customers to manage locks on the go using their account details, having access to all our free features. iglooworks is our enterprise management dashboard with a role-based mobile app, allowing business customers to perform more tasks at scale. Lastly, we also have integration platforms, known as iglooconnect and iglooaccess. iglooconnect is a marketplace for any 3^rd party services linked to our locks (ie. Airbnb), and iglooaccess is our API/SDK portal.

Our customers now include: home-owners, retail and institutional landlords, property managers, boutique hotel/co-living operators, short-term rental hosts, and other sharing economy applications. Customers current pay for hardware directly or via our distribution network, and we collect ongoing software fees where applicable.

All our software features are based on our proprietary firmware stack that we’ve built – which includes BLE, LTE-M, AlgoPIN, Custom PIN, RFID, and Biometric. Our newest core tech addition to the tech expands on forms of digital keys, namely app-less NFC and algo-QR. The company believes this will allow more application to be built on top to tackle even larger market opportunities.

Explore new and innovative application for Resmed’s patented technologies in PAP therapy.

https://www.resmed.sg/about-us

ResMed was founded in 1989 in Australia by Peter C. Farrell (PhD). Peter’s initial goal was to bring continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, from the lab-prototype stage developed by Dr Colin Sullivan under Baxter International Inc.’s Australian research centre to a scalable device production and global distribution. This early development of the CPAP therapy became the corner stone for the gold standard for the treatment of Sleep Apnoea today.

Today, ResMed is the world leader for Sleep Health solutions with a strong focus on the innovations in Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Therapy. This contributes to ResMed’s strong reputation and success in this field.

ResMed’s success in PAP therapy comes from combining smart adaptive algorithms, patient comfort engineering, digital connectivity & monitoring, and an ecosystem approach (device + mask + tubing + coaching) that moves PAP therapy beyond “just blowing air”. These elements together increase real-world effectiveness by improving both the physiological efficacy and the behavioural & adherence side of therapy.

Opportunity sought:

Explore new and innovative application for Resmed’s patented technologies in PAP therapy. The team can choose on a single technology, or combination of them.

Some of the questions that the team will be looking at are:

• What are the problems that could potentially be solved by applying this technology?
• What are the potential market areas that this technology can be applied to?
• What are the further innovations or considerations needed to make it viable in these other areas?
• What are the potential business models?
• How will the technical and business viability be assessed and validated?
