Airties Selected by T-Mobile for Home Wi-Fi Deployments Across USA
Airties, a Wi-Fi vendor for BSPs, announced it's deploying their suite of Smart Wi-Fi software to T-Mobile FWA customers in the U.S.
The company is currently working with providers on 5G fixed wireless deployments, in addition to their wired deployments. Airties also recently announced a collaboration with Qualcomm.
“Fixed wireless continues to reshape the home broadband market, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of enabling service providers to enhance performance across their 5G and home Wi-Fi networks,” said Metin Taskin, CEO of Airties. “We are very honored that T-Mobile selected Airties to help them provide an exceptional managed home Wi-Fi experience to their customers, and we are excited to support their vision now and into the future.”
In a press release, the company said their hybrid cloud-edge software architecture “leverages both the embedded intelligence in customer premises equipment (Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 6, etc.) and the cloud to maximize responsiveness and performance.”
The company’s smart Wi-Fi software for gateways/routers/extenders is called Airties Edge, and directs consumers’ devices (laptops, tablets, phones, game consoles, IoT, smart home devices, etc.) to “the best available Wi-Fi access point and frequency band based on real-time network conditions,” according to the company. The software also “turns existing home gateways into an intelligent Wi-Fi mesh access point.”
Airties Cloud helps “monitor and orchestrate Wi-Fi across homes, optimizes broadband gateways and mesh extenders,” the company says.
