Designed to create an immersive whole home Wi-Fi customer
experience, Intellifi delivers ultrafast, intuitive and reliable
broadband to every corner of the home with the new SE80ac, a
compact, wall-pluggable, mesh access point designed to support
seamless roaming throughout the home.
“The smart home is the next battleground for network operators
as they look to offer new and innovative services that have
traditionally been delivered by over-the-top service providers,” J.
Arnold & Associates Principal Analyst Jon Arnold said. “By
enabling operators to seamlessly manage Wi-Fi services to ensure
whole-home coverage and support for IoT devices, SmartRG is
delivering the cloud services, software and hardware needed for a
host of new service and revenue potential.”
Scalable to any size home with the deployment of up to five
SE80ac satellites, the network automatically creates a mesh system
that delivers seamless coverage to every room in the home,
eliminating dead spots, making slow Wi-Fi and poor connections —
the number one reason for calls to service providers’ customer care
— a thing of the past.
“There are a myriad of consumer Wi-Fi Mesh solutions on the
market today. But service providers have higher expectations when
it comes to customer experience and reliability. We believe these
advanced requirements will make the difference in any subscriber’s
home,” SmartRG Chief Technology Officer David La Cagnina said.
“Intellifi was designed to deliver more than great Wi-Fi. It also
seamlessly integrates with the subscriber's entire broadband
experience. With it, any service provider can offer their own
fully-managed whole-home Wi-Fi service, ready for stellar remote
support, troubleshooting and customer care.”
In addition to easy onboarding and intelligent Wi-Fi roaming,
Intellifi enables carrier-grade support via remote management and
predictive customer care powered by analytics, as well as air-time
management to balance triple-play surfing, voice and video service
experience. It also opens the door to future services, as a
reliable connection is essential for a fully integrated IoT
capable, immersive whole home Wi-Fi services and applications.
SmartRG’s solution also integrates within the carrier network to
perform automatic updates and can prioritize video, voice and
gaming services to ensure service remains uninterrupted throughout
the day.
Intellifi devices are self-organizing and can be managed over
any connection: wireless, ethernet or even coaxial and powerline.
As soon as an extender is detected, a full setup is performed in
real time and the Intellifi hub is in control of the node. Using a
wired connection has the advantage of leaving additional precious
airtime to wireless clients and, most importantly, ensures
subscribers get Gigabit wireless connectivity wherever they need it
most.
Intellifi SE80ac mesh kits are in customer trials today and will
be generally available in Q4 2019. Additional mesh kits featuring
tri-band capability, as well as Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) are planned for
availability in 2020. Through SmartRG’s established participation
within the prpl Foundation’s prplMesh project, the Intellifi
roadmap includes Wi-Fi Alliance EasyMesh™ R3 compliance and
certification, occurring in 2020.
