Standards-based approach to residential Wi-Fi networks

We are happy to announce that our mesh access point Air 4960 is now Wi-Fi CERTIFIED EasyMesh™ (R2). The certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance brings a standards-based approach to residential and small office Wi-Fi networks that utilize multiple access points. Wi-Fi EasyMesh products are known to deliver full coverage networks with intelligent management of resources, with minimal user intervention.

This certification endorses the Airties mesh access point Air 4960’s capabilities to deliver smart home Wi-Fi with easier on-boarding, discovery and configuration and more adaptive channel and network management, link optimization and smarter metrics reporting. Our device successfully cleared almost 200 different test cases for it to be certified.

The growth in variety and number of connected devices that rely on Wi-Fi connectivity in the home has resulted in the need for intelligent and dynamic Wi-Fi networks. Airties teams across the world have contributed to the Air 4960 successfully achieving the certification and create a product that benefits service providers and their consumers with a great Wi-Fi quality of experience that caters to evolving demands.

The benefits for operators to adopt this EasyMesh approach versus alternatives

• EasyMesh both simplifies and speeds up the integration of advanced business logic onto Wi-Fi hardware platforms, by reducing the bespoke integration efforts typically needed across OEMs, chipsets, and software. It does this by standardizing the basic building blocks of a managed Wi-Fi mesh solution for operators
• EasyMesh is supported by all major Wi-Fi chipset vendors and OEMs for their mainstream and future generation products.  This also means operators can support multi-vendor deployments more seamlessly.
• EasyMesh is fully compatible with the Airties hybrid cloud-edge architecture that leverages Smart Wi-Fi capabilities embedded on the CPE as well as the analytics and optimizations operated through the Cloud.
• EasyMesh allows operators to work with partners like Airties to focus more of their efforts on the advanced Smart Wi-Fi and connected home services that really make a difference to consumers – things like zero-touch installation; remote home Wi-Fi management; and new services.
