In-Home Wi-Fi is becoming an essential proposition to meet the high expectations of customers – namely, that Wi-Fi will be easy to set up and operate even if they have no knowledge or understanding of the technology.
With more wirelessly-connected devices in use than ever before, home network security has become increasingly important. Homeowners need to make sure their home Wi-Fi network’s security is up to the required standard in reasonable speed and coverage to ensure the smoothness and productivity for work-from-home and online education.
In addition, with the advent of widespread video streaming and video conferencing, the demand for bandwidth within the home has increased significantly which required multi-access point. However, multi-AP systems are quite different in this respect from simply plugging in a single AP and using default configuration. So, how we can make it easier for the customers and keep them happy?
To help operators and other providers of in-home Wi-Fi understand the advantages and differences of multi-AP systems, this In-Home Wi-Fi Multi-AP Solutions Trial Final Report provides testing and analysis of all the Multi-AP features and capabilities and defines a set of performance metrics and subsequent test plans which have been collected from live use cases conducted in a real operating environment.
WBA’s In-Home Wi-Fi Program has launched an expanded version of its previously-released In-Home Wi-Fi Industry Guidelines, providing a clear guide on the best practices and standards to create the ultimate in-home Wi-Fi experience for consumers. It provides a comprehensive analysis on in-home Wi-Fi multi-AP solutions, trials and use cases.
