Raised-Floor Leak Radar
Spots water or coolant spreading under the floor days before puddle sensors trip.
The physics is solid; our own validation is scheduled.
How it works
WiFi waves slow down and fade sharply when they cross water — far more than when crossing dry floor. A spreading wet patch under the raised floor bends the signals in a fixed, growing spot. The system maps where the wet area is and watches it grow.
In the physics: Water's relative permittivity (~80) dwarfs dry floor/concrete (~2-6): a spreading wet patch slows and attenuates paths crossing the plenum, producing measurable extra delay (path through 10cm of wet zone adds ~ns-scale excess delay) and a growing high-eps_r region in the reconstructed material map.

How the field becomes an answer
How we prove it
Own-hardware: raised-floor testbed, introduce controlled water volumes (0.5-20L) under tiles, measure detection latency and localization vs. spot leak-rope sensors; moisture-vs-eps_r physics is textbook (class B on our integration).
Who it is for
Wide-area leak detection that sees under every tile, not just where the leak rope happens to lie — sold to the DC facilities manager as insurance against the classic 'CRAC leak found by the downstairs tenant' incident.
