ISTANBUL, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ahead of CES®
2019, AirTies, the most widely deployed provider of managed
in-home Wi-Fi solutions to global service providers, today
announced a strategic collaboration with Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:
AVGO), a global leader in high performance Wi-Fi solutions for
home networking. Specifically, AirTies' Smart Wi-Fi software will
be pre-integrated into Broadcom's Wi-Fi 6 drivers, making it easier
for operators to bring AirTies' solutions to third-party gateways.
In addition, AirTies will use Broadcom's Wi-Fi 6 chipsets in a new
class of Mesh extenders to be offered in 2019.
Wi-Fi 6 is expected to bring increased speed and capacity than
the previous generation of Wi-Fi (802.11ac). It will also more
efficiently support the increasing density of devices in the
connected home with lower latency and enhanced battery life.
Coupled with AirTies' Smart Wi-Fi software and cloud-based
management software, operators can maximize and extend the
capabilities of Broadcom's Wi-Fi 6 solutions.
AirTies' Smart Wi-Fi software is designed to help operators
upgrade in-home Wi-Fi performance and coverage, proactively fix and
monitor Wi-Fi issues, and improve overall customer
satisfaction. The software intelligently directs consumers'
devices to the best available channel and band (2.4GHz and 5GHz),
based on real-time home network conditions to improve performance.
It also enables gateways to serve as the Wi-Fi Mesh controller,
lowering equipment investments for operators by reducing the number
of extenders required.
Broadcom's Wi-Fi 6 chipsets will also be integrated with access
to AirTies' Remote Manager, a cloud-based optimization suite that
provides real-time visibility and historical performance analysis
to manage the consumer Wi-Fi experience. This capability is key to
get the best performance out of new Wi-Fi 6 devices because older
legacy Wi-Fi devices remain in homes for many years. Service
providers must be able to optimize performance based on the actual
capabilities of their subscribers' various devices. For example,
based on real-world analysis from millions of households, AirTies
disclosed data earlier this summer that found 51.3% of devices in
the home still use old 802.11n technology. For legacy and new Wi-Fi
6 devices, AirTies Remote Manager maximizes responsiveness and
performance by leveraging both cloud-based and localized network
intelligence.
"Our newest strategic effort with Broadcom will make it easier
for operators to adopt Broadcom's Wi-Fi 6 chipsets to have access
to our industry-leading Smart Wi-Fi software and in-home management
software platform," said Oz Yildirim, CMO of AirTies. "We look
forward to enabling service providers to leverage our software on
third-party gateways and to bringing our own Wi-Fi 6 Mesh extenders
to market in 2019. Powered by Broadcom's latest 4x4 Wi-Fi 6
chipsets, these new extenders will continue our legacy of designing
the kind of elegant and compact products that both operators and
consumers demand."
"Wi-Fi 6 is the next great advancement in the evolution of Wi-Fi
technology, and we are excited about its potential for broadband
service providers around the globe," said Gregory Fischer, senior vice president and
general manager, Broadband Carrier Access, Broadcom. "AirTies is a
proven global leader in managed Wi-Fi software solutions, and the
powerful combination of Broadcom's Wi-Fi 6 and AirTies' Smart Wi-Fi
software will enable operators to serve the super connected homes
of today and tomorrow."
AirTies software actively manages more than 25 million homes
around the globe. AirTies' technologies have been deployed by more
than 50 service providers across 4 different continents.
AirTies will showcase its products and services at the upcoming CES
2019 show from January 8-10 at the
Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.
