ASSIA, which supplies high-performance software tools for dynamic spectrum management (DSM) of DSL and Wi-Fi, is introducing a residential Wi-Fi management service to help carriers resolve in-home networking problems.
ASSIA's new Expresse Wi-Fi provides advanced diagnosis and automatic, proactive repair capabilities of in-home Wi-Fi networks, including the real-time calculation of throughput, latency, and connectivity. The service provider is able to leverage long-term cloud-based statistical analysis of home Wi-Fi performance for better, more efficient optimization and troubleshooting.
The system works by integrating a lightweight Expresse Wi-Fi software agent into the Wi-Fi CPE platform supplied by the network operator. This can be deployed in the field through a standard firmware upgrade. The cloud-based service can integrate with any OSS/BSS system through Web services. ASSIA said its solution is available for licensing to any customer premises equipment (CPE) vendor. ASSIA provides Expresse Wi-Fi as a cloud-based service. The product is expected to be generally available in late 2012.
“Consumers around the world expect a seamless Wi-Fi experience. Although the networks are in place and billions of devices are in use worldwide, many consumers are still disappointed with their home Wi-Fi performance,” said Dr. John Cioffi, chairman and CEO of ASSIA. “ASSIA is delighted to deliver a product that closes that gap by levering our broadband management expertise derived from the 65 million connections we currently manage globally.”
