Wave goodbye to poor Wi-Fi - Huawei is going above and beyond the current Wi-Fi 6 standard with AirEngine.
By Wu Rihai, Chief Architect of Campus Network WLAN Products, Data Communication Product Line, Huawei
From offices, factories, and cafes right up to the International Space Station, Wi-Fi is everywhere. But, many problems exist with Wi-Fi. Unable to load a webpage even though the Wi-Fi signal is strong? When someone downloads a video, does that reduce speeds for other people? And does connection stability suffer when you’re on the move?
According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, more than 10 billion Wi-Fi devices are in use worldwide, carrying more than half of today's data traffic. With the proliferation of applications on mobile devices, the application experience is crucial. New applications often require higher bandwidth and lower latency, and user complaints are becoming more focused on issues like poor Wi-Fi experience.
To minimize complaints, CIOs are prioritizing a consistent user experience in fully wireless workspaces, regardless of place or device. Although this requirement seems simple to address, the IDC reports that 76% of enterprises worldwide are currently dissatisfied with their wireless networks.
So, is there a viable wireless solution to address these concerns?
Yes – in the shape of a future-proofed Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that can truly sense environmental changes — such as crowd flows, interference, and partitions — all while dynamically evaluating service experience. Connected to a WLAN such as this, application users can enjoy a consistent experience almost anywhere at any time. This is made possible by fully wireless, continuous coverage networking technology.
