Elliptic Labs Expands Partnership with Major Laptop Customer, Reinforcing AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform as a Core Technology
Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), a global leader in AI software and the pioneer behind AI Virtual Smart Sensors™, has announced a multi-year licensing agreement with one of its existing laptop customers. This landmark deal not only broadens the scope of Elliptic Labs’ technology within the customer’s product portfolio but also solidifies the AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™ as a cornerstone of the customer’s long-term strategy for next-generation commercial laptops and PC accessories.
Currently deployed in over half a billion devices worldwide, Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform has already proven its value in enhancing device functionality through innovative, software-only solutions. The new agreement expands the licensing framework to include PC accessories, further embedding Elliptic Labs’ technology into the customer’s ecosystem. By integrating the platform directly into its proprietary software stack earlier this year, the customer has eliminated the need for third-party applications, streamlining deployment, reducing external dependencies, and reinforcing Elliptic Labs’ role as a foundational element of its smart device strategy.
“This is a pivotal moment for Elliptic Labs,” said Laila Danielsen, CEO of the company. “The expanded partnership underscores our customer’s confidence in our AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform as a key enabler of their future interoperability solutions. This agreement not only strengthens our foothold in the AI PC market but also positions us to scale our technology across a broader range of devices, operating systems, and user experiences.”
The decision by the customer to embed Elliptic Labs’ platform at the core of its software stack highlights the growing importance of AI-driven virtual sensors in modern computing. Unlike traditional hardware-based sensors, Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Smart Sensors leverage machine learning algorithms and existing device components—such as microphones and speakers—to deliver advanced functionalities like proximity sensing, presence detection, and touchless interaction. This approach eliminates the need for additional hardware, reducing costs while enhancing design flexibility and sustainability.
For the customer, the integration of Elliptic Labs’ technology ensures a seamless user experience across its commercial laptop lineup and accessories. The AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform enables features such as automatic screen wake-up when a user approaches, power-saving modes when the device is not in use, and enhanced security through presence detection. These capabilities align with the growing demand for smarter, more intuitive devices that adapt to users’ needs while maintaining energy efficiency and ease of use.
The expanded licensing agreement also reflects a strategic shift in how companies are approaching innovation in the PC market. As competition intensifies and consumer expectations rise, manufacturers are increasingly turning to AI-driven solutions to differentiate their products. By partnering with Elliptic Labs, the customer is positioning itself at the forefront of this trend, leveraging cutting-edge technology to deliver superior performance and functionality.
Moreover, the inclusion of PC accessories in the licensing structure demonstrates the versatility of Elliptic Labs’ platform. Whether it’s enhancing the usability of docking stations, optimizing peripheral devices, or enabling new interactive features, the AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform can be adapted to a wide range of applications. This flexibility not only benefits the customer but also opens up new opportunities for Elliptic Labs to expand its reach within the broader PC ecosystem.
The significance of this agreement extends beyond the immediate commercial implications. It validates Elliptic Labs’ vision of creating a software-defined future where AI-powered virtual sensors replace traditional hardware-based solutions. By proving the value of its platform in high-volume, mission-critical applications, Elliptic Labs is paving the way for wider adoption across industries and device categories.
