Unisoc, a China-based supplier of mobile communications chipsets and IoT chipsets, today launched the world's first smart helmet solution built at the chip level, integrating Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE, GPS, AI, and other functional modules on a single chip platform to realize the core functions of a smart helmet with a single chip.
This means that by optimizing the design and algorithms, the solution can achieve more stable connectivity and more accurate algorithms on the underlying hardware.
Experimental data provided by Unisoc shows that in some specific scenarios, the communication connection stability of the solution is up to 50% more stable than other non-chip-level solutions.

The high integration brought by a single chip can effectively reduce the development and deployment costs, Unisoc said the solution will make the comprehensive cost of the smart helmet will be 30% lower than non-chip-level solutions, which will help more enterprises to realize the deployment of the smart helmet.
At present, Unisoc has launched three differentiated solutions for different user groups and market demands: Universal Edition, Standard Edition, and Flagship Edition.
The Universal Edition meets the needs of cycling safety-related monitoring and Bluetooth calling. The Standard Edition adds real-time positioning and AI voice assistant functions to the safety monitoring and Bluetooth calls. The flagship version adds AI vision assistance to cope with more complex road conditions and ensure safe rides.

Unisoc says its smart helmet solution is mature and stable, with the core platform field-tested with nearly 200 operators around the world for uninterrupted connectivity. Based on an industrial-grade solution, the smart helmet is designed to withstand flooding, high and low temperatures, impact, and harsh environments.
According to Unisoc, the smart helmet solution enables sub-meter positioning accuracy, with an improvement in error from 10 meters to less than 1 meter compared to normal meter positioning, down to the lane.
In addition, the solution has a built-in AI voice assistant, which can achieve stable recognition, processing, and interaction of voice commands even in complex scenarios. In noisy environments, the solution has been tested to achieve a 97% wake-up and recognition rate at a distance of 1 meter.
Unisoc also incorporates high-definition Bluetooth calling and noise cancellation technology into the smart helmet, enabling low-latency stereo sound through the in-helmet Bluetooth headset, helping cyclists to drive safely without missing important information.
According to the company, the smart helmet with this solution can achieve AI lane monitoring, through the fusion of cameras and AI algorithms can identify the lane in real-time. In the event of a lane departure, backtracking or a non-motorized vehicle entering a motorized lane, it will be alerted dynamically by voice.
For blind spots when turning and changing lanes, Unisoc integrates 360-view and Intelligent Rear View into the solution. Using a camera embedded in the helmet, users can monitor their surroundings for vehicles and pedestrians and receive instant voice alerts.
The solution also enables comprehensive monitoring of the user's posture, behavior, and physical condition. For example, if the user falls or has an abnormal heart rate, the helmet will recognize and automatically report the data in real-time. At night, the helmet warning light will automatically turn on.
With its low-power design, the solution can last for up to 7 days.
