Airties’ hybrid Cloud-edge software architecture utilises both embedded intelligence in customer premises equipment and the cloud to maximise responsiveness and home Wi-Fi performance. The Airties software portfolio includes Airties Edge, smart Wi-Fi software for gateways, routers, and extenders, which intelligently directs consumer devices (such as laptops, tablets and phones) to the optimal Wi-Fi access point and frequency band based on real-time network conditions.
This software, based on the industry standard Wi-Fi EasyMesh, can also transform existing home gateways into intelligent Wi-Fi mesh access points, improving connectivity quality and stability within the home. Airties Cloud monitors and orchestrates Wi-Fi across homes, optimises broadband gateways and mesh extenders to ensure a superior quality of experience, provides insights on connected devices, and offers APIs to power operators’ customer-facing support apps. Airties Orbit is a continuous test automation platform for broadband service providers, customer premises equipment manufacturers, and system-on-chip manufacturers to support Smart Wi-Fi integrations and deployments.
