Hear from Metin Taskin, our CTO on the reasons Airties adopted Wi-Fi EasyMesh.

When we developed Mesh systems in the past, we were one of the first companies, in the home network space to develop and deploy Mesh solution in the home. There was no standard to be able to establish a Mesh network and manage the Wi-Fi home network from a higher level. We had to implement lots of lower-layer protocols and lower layer improvements on the Wi-Fi chips and the chip driver level. But there is a lot of work, a lot of time spent on the low-level support[Wi-Fi] EasyMesh – we really pushed for getting EasyMesh standard into a good operator-level.

Wi-Fi EasyMesh R2 is definitely there. This is where we put all of our efforts to integrate Wi-Fi EasyMesh into our Smart Wi-Fi system and interface with the Wi-Fi chips and the Wi-Fi interfaces of gateways, and the extenders using the Wi-Fi EasyMesh protocol. That helped us focus on more value-added features, like optimizing Wi-Fi and building all the QS-level, channel optimization level features, but at the same time, it also helps us integrate with different chips, different gateways, different manufacturer’s products on Wi-Fi EasyMesh standard level, because now we can talk the same language, we can describe what we need, based on Wi-Fi EasyMesh protocol. We just need EasyMesh R2 support on the extenders or the gateway, where we integrate our Edge software, and it also puts a clear boundary about where the responsibility is when we integrate our software into a 3rd party device, we can test it at the Wi-Fi EasyMesh level so that we can make sure that the product works well, at that standard level.
