Proposal title SMART Wi-Fi : Management of the Wi-Fi Spectrum and Performance

Project description

Organising the world’s wifi to boost connections

Wireless interference can result in irregular connectivity with unexpected breaks, slow network connection, slow data transfer and poor signal strength. Basically, it makes it difficult to connect and to stay connected. The EU-funded Smart-WiFi project considers radio interference issues to be the true bottleneck in the wifi infrastructure. This is why it has applied AI to organise and optimise wifi around the world. As a universal solution, it will be able to collaboratively synchronise wifi device signals to prevent neighbour interferences, maximising internet speed and quality. The project will commercialise this new user-centric, cloud-based and unlicensed spectrum management system that has been built on AI algorithms.

Objective

Ambeent offers a ground-breaking artificial intelligence (AI) based application to organize and optimize the World's Wi-Fi. It is the only universal solution; it can collaboratively synchronize Wi-Fi device signals preventing neighbor interferences, maximizing internet speed and quality. A Wi-Fi device connects to the internet through channels. If multiple Wi-Fi devices use the same channel, neighbor/radio interference problems occur causing weak and unreliable internet to arise. These interferences have become an important problem, as today billions of devices are connected to the Wi-Fi and 50 billion more are coming. Moreover, every new technology or gadget evolves and grows through a strong interaction with the Wi-Fi. With this demand, today’s Wi-Fi technology is very vulnerable to radio interference and it can barely handle the current number of devices, let alone the addition of future devices. Most solutions today are irrelevant as they continue to focus on deploying better broadband modems, installing fiber optic cables, etc., rather than solving the radio interference issues, the true bottleneck in the Wi-Fi infrastructure. If this issue continues to be ignored Wi-Fi will be unusable in the future. The next big breakthrough in Wi-Fi technology has to be a collaborative management of these interferences, which Ambeent currently offers the solution with a user-centric approach. In this project, we will commercialize our ground-breaking, user-centric, cloud-based, unlicensed spectrum management system, built on our proprietary optimization and AI algorithms.
