Enterprise Wi-Fi utilizes slightly different management methods and protocols compared to consumer networks. The equipment can support bigger loads without being affected by dropped or dead signals. An administrator controls access so that only authorized people are able to connect. In short, enterprise Wi-Fi is an advanced version of home Wi-Fi built to manage the greater demands of public institutions and businesses.
Key Advantages:
Variety of WiFi Solution
Cognitive WiFi
Enabling wireless networks to learn, predict, protect, and progress, Arista’s Cognitive WiFi™ solution optimizes the wireless experience. Harnessing the power of the cloud, big data analytics, and automation, Cognitive WiFi augments network admin capacity with the power of intelligence, speed, and accuracy. Through root cause analysis and proactive problem resolution options, Cognitive WiFi also reduces the mean-time-to-resolve problems, minimizing troubleshooting effort for the network.
Key Advantages:
Manage the Explosion in Video
This version of Cognitive WiFi tackles one of the biggest problems facing network managers today, and that’s supporting video collaboration over wireless. Bandwidth-intensive applications such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Hangouts have always played havoc on wireless networks because WiFi is a shared medium. Arista has built a video-collaboration application experience dashboard that shows visibility into Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom, with more apps coming. This should ensure an optimized video experience.
Displays Client Journey Information
The CloudVision WiFi dashboard provides real-time insights into the end-to-end client journey. This includes a view of what’s causing problems and which clients and applications are impacted. This can help network managers prioritize what to fix. It’s not always obvious what the impact of a problem is, so network operations could be troubleshooting a problem only impacting a small number of users and ignoring the one that is more business-impacting. CloudVision presents a complete analysis of the network and clients instead of showing basic charts or graphs, which would then require some manual correlation. Most users think WiFi problems are related to access points, but they are often related to other issues such as DNS, DHCP, or Radius. Now, network managers have the visibility to laser in on the problem.
AI-powered analytics
The AI-powered analytics hit the nail on the proverbial network head because WiFi troubleshooting is one of the biggest pain points for network managers. Some engineers I’ve interviewed spend as much as 25% of their time doing nothing but trying to fix WiFi problems. Arista uses AI to provide QoS policy enforcement and root-cause analysis and makes remediation recommendations. I would expect that over time, the recommendations would generate automatic actions leading to a self-healing network.
OpenConfig as an Alternative
Arista’s OpenConfig will provide an open and standards-based way of streamlining telemetry to manage, monitor, and baseline the wireless network. OpenConfig is a programmatic, standards-based alternative that uses software-defined network (SDN) principles versus the proprietary methods most vendors use.
Location services that track the location of access points (APS) and the clients connected to them.
Remote-access-point capabilities that let users plug an AP into their home network and have it automatically connect back to the corporate headquarters over a VPN connection.
Software upgrades that update the APs to Wi-Fi 6. This brings all the rich features of WiFi6 to Arista customers, including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, BSS coloring, target wake time, and WPA3.
Intelligent Wi-Fi for Home affiliates
Intelligent WiFi adapts to the number of people and devices online around your home, so you can just crack on with the things you love. Intelligent WiFi teams up our Hub 3, Media Connect app, and intelligent WiFi Boosters. Together, they help deliver our most reliable WiFi signal.
4 main features that aim to improve consumers’ Wi-Fi experience.
It has been improved by adding a new feature, such as Suspicious Network Detection, and also enhancing existing features such as Network Bearer Switching.
We care about speed, and we also care about your spending. With more than ten years of experience in Wi-Fi technology on mobile devices, conducting extensive research on features that actually improve the Wi-Fi experience for consumers. As a result, we have identified four main consumer concerns and developed solutions with artificial intelligence and a mix of other existing technologies:
Smart WiFi for Customized demands
Smart WiFi combines your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi networks into one powerful network. This new network is so smart that it knows precisely where your devices are in your home, ensuring you’re always connected to the best signal. Best of all, it’s included with Nexoit One at no additional cost. Smart Wi-Fi means a lot of things to different people. For some, it’s a given, for others, it’s a wish. The good news is that Smart Wi-Fi is a reality in today’s technology market. To help you get your head around what Smart Wi-Fi is, how it works, and what to do with it, we’ve put together a quick guide to help you on your way.
Smart Wi-Fi can:
Change router settings; wireless signals beam out over several channels and frequencies. Smart Wi-Fi will ensure you’re connected to the best one.
Monitor network devices; a constant stream of data and messages back and forth to monitor devices on the network.
Restrict access to certain websites; malicious or particularly bandwidth-heavy site access can be restricted.
Smart Wi-Fi can’t:
Detect unforeseen circumstances; if you’re plugged into an internet connection that goes down suddenly, you will need a backup or failover solution in place.
Filter bandwidth; if you need more bandwidth for certain tasks, like streaming or uploading, you will use more bandwidth, but you will still be sharing the connection with everyone else connected.
Double as wireless repeaters; wireless blackspots are annoying in the home or business. Smart Wi-Fi routers do generally have more antennas for extra coverage, though.
Smart Routers
No two smart routers are the same. Finding the right smart router for you is completely dependent on your Wi-Fi requirements. You can be as simple or complex as you like in these requirements, as the technology is totally scalable. As standard, the following features and benefits are seen in most Smart Wi-Fi packages.
