Hear from Metin Taskin, CEO & CTO, Airties to learn how standards-based solutions ensure interoperability, reduce vendor lock-in, and facilitate innovation.
Airties advocating for standards that help improve home Wi-Fi
Airties has always been an advocate for standards that help improve home Wi-Fi. EasyMesh, in particular, is a Wi-Fi Alliance® program which brings a standards-based approach to Wi-Fi networks that utilize multiple access points (APs). Specifically, EasyMesh Release 2 provides a standardized communication layer for home networks that utilizes multiple Wi-Fi extenders.
Adopting EasyMesh allows Airties, and our customers, to focus more on adding value with business logic and less on platform integration—as certain core functionalities are now able to work consistently across chipsets and OEMs. It enables us to focus more efforts on the advanced Smart Wi-Fi and cloud management capabilities that really make a difference to our customers, such as advanced steering, channel optimization, zero-touch installation, and remote Wi-Fi troubleshooting.
Airties’ software enabled the world’s first service provider deployment of Wi-Fi EasyMesh with Telstra in Australia. Since that time, we now have multiple EasyMesh-based service provider deployments underway that we expect will be announced later this year.
While each deployment is unique, more service providers are seeking the kind of interoperability that EasyMesh provides, coupled with Airties’ hybrid cloud-edge software architecture to maximize the responsiveness, performance, and control of their subscribers’ home Wi-Fi experience.
At Airties, EasyMesh is the foundation for delivering leading Smart Wi-Fi functionality, granting broadband operators flexibility to deploy Airties Edge (our Smart Wi-Fi software for gateways/routers/extenders) on a massive number of products.
In addition, Airties Cloud provides broadband operators with the ability to manage both legacy and EasyMesh extenders in a unified way, since only the most recent extenders are available with EasyMesh.
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.
