Let’s dive into 11 innovations that
just revolutionized wireless for
2017…

4. 1. A New Kind of Cloud
page
04
New microservices cloud
architectures bring SaaS agility to
wireless, enabling on-demand
network upgrades and patches within
minutes.
Modern cloud elements like Spark
and Kafka are being used for machine
learning, automation, and high speed
messaging for simpler wireless
operations and greater scale.

5. 2. Wireless Understands We Are All Unique

Machine learning takes
into account the unique
characteristics of every
mobile device (e.g.
iPhone 5, iPhone 7,
Android, etc.) to deliver a
consistent experience
across all wireless users.

6. 3. You Can Walk in Their Shoes
page
06
New wireless platforms collect state
information from every mobile device
in real-time, so administrators can
view wireless coverage, throughput
and other network characteristics
from the user’s point of view.

Dynamic packet captures start
collecting data when an anomaly is
detected and store it in the cloud for
easy analysis.
Never send a tech onsite with a
packet sniffer again!

8. 5. You Can Turn Back Time
page
08
Capturing RF packets from every
device and storing it in the cloud lets
you see a user’s exact state at any
historical point in time.

9. 6. Hello, Service Level Assurance!
page
09
Wireless platforms now track
connection times, roaming, coverage,
capacity throughput, and other
service level metrics in real-time to
ensure users have a great wireless
experience.
Did we mention, REAL-TIME!

Machine learning tracks RF
behavior, device characteristics,
and user patterns to proactively
provide recommendations to
avoid potential problems!

11. 8. Beams Are Here to Stay!
New Enterprise-Grade Access
Points have directional BLE
antenna arrays that deliver
unprecedented location accuracy
(1 to 3 meters).

Real-time location
calibration eliminates the
need for expensive and
time consuming BLE site
surveys.

13. 10. Physical Beacons Are Taking a Back Seat

Virtual beacons eliminate
hassles of physical beacons:
deployment, re-location,
calibration, and battery
replacement.
Location based services like
wayfinding, proximity
messaging, and asset tracking
are now more affordable and
easier to deploy.

14. Yep, We’ll Say it Again…

No More Batteries

15. 11. Wireless Has Come Together!
Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi, BLE, IoT services, and
analytics can now be found on a single wireless
platform.
