Airties’ unique hybrid cloud-edge architecture leverages both the embedded intelligence in customer premises equipment (CPE) and the cloud to maximize responsiveness and performance. Airties Edge, smart Wi-Fi software for gateways/routers, intelligently directs consumers’ devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones, game consoles, IoT, smart home devices, etc.) to the best available Wi-Fi Access Point and frequency band based on real-time network conditions. The software enables existing home gateways/modems to double as an intelligent Wi-Fi mesh access point, improving the quality and stability of connectivity within the home. It also includes Airties’ Wi-Fi EasyMesh™ software controller which provides interoperability for use with third-party mesh extenders.

Airties Cloud orchestrates Wi-Fi across homes, optimizing operator gateways and extenders in real-time to ensure a better quality of experience for consumers, while providing insights on connected devices. It also allows operators to address evolving consumer needs, such as cybersecurity, through a suite of digital services. Airties Vision is a customizable companion app that provides an intuitive tool to allow consumers to easily visualize and manage their home connectivity, control who has access to the network via parental and guest controls, and provide step-by-step guidance to onboard new mesh extenders.

Airties has also been recognized with many prestigious industry awards for its innovative work serving broadband operators including: “Best Home Wi-Fi Solution Award” from Broadband World Forum; “Best Wi-Fi Service Provider Solution” and “Best Home Wi-Fi Product” awards from Wi-Fi NOW; “Best-In Home Wi-Fi Network” award from Wireless Broadband Alliance; “Best Broadband Customer Experience” from Cable & Satellite International; and many others.
