THE PLUME ADVANTAGE : PUTTING THE ADAPT IN ADAPTIVE WIFI

aABSTRACT

WiFi is the predominant way we connect to the internet and access our mobile and digital lives . Residential customer experience is directly proportional to the speed and reliability of the WiFi connection , and the mobility of devices we use to consume content requires WiFi to reach every corner of the home . Traditional centralized WiFi routers fail to provide adequate coverage for the whole home , and accompanying WiFi repeaters or extenders fail to reliably extend the WiFi connection . In order to completely solve the WiFi problem , a new architecture is required . This architecture requires a deeply distributed WiFi access network with a centralized , intelligent controller to manage the delivery of WiFi speed , reliability , and coverage . Each network must be able to adapt to each customer ’ s home size , environment , and usage based on current client device usage and historical insights of customer patterns . The benefits of such an adaptive WiFi system are compared against traditional WiFi systems and also against newer mesh-based WiFi systems .
