Swisscom Launches WLAN-Box Powered by SoftAtHome's Smart Wi-Fi Solution
SoftAtHome, the software provider for operator CPE devices enabling
convergent services for the digital home, announces today that its Smart
Wi-Fi solution powers the Swiss incumbent's new WLAN-Box (News - Alert).
The all-new WLAN-Box is a 3-in-1 Access Point device (Repeater,
Extender, Video bridge) improving Wi-Fi reception throughout the home.
Swisscom's (News - Alert) TV-Box is connected to the WLAN-Box without the need for
dedicated video bridges, de-cluttering the home. SoftAtHome Smart Wi-Fi
features make sure that all devices at home always have the best
connectivity.
SoftAtHome Smart Wi-Fi delivers the best in-home Wi-Fi experience thanks
to Intelligent Channel Selection and Instant Steering. A unique SSID is
propagated on all Access Points creating a Smart Home network supporting
any network topology. Best-in class steering algorithms adapt to user
device behaviour to constantly optimize performances and user
experience. SoftAtHome Smart Wi-Fi prioritizes time-critical traffic
like multicast IPTV (News - Alert). Cloud-based tools with AI-based analytics feed
marketing teams and help solve home network problems before they occur.
SoftAtHome's Smart Wi-Fi solution runs on the home gateway for extending
coverage and will often be enough to deliver a great wireless experience
throughout the home. When multiple Access Points are nevertheless
required, one less device is needed compared to off-the-shelf solutions,
as the Home Gateway (News - Alert) acts as the Smart Wi-Fi hub.
"With the SoftAtHome Smart Wi-Fi solution and the nw WLAN-Box, we are
happy that our customers can now experience the best WLAN throughout
their homes." said Marcel Burgherr, Head of Gateways, Phones and other
Devices at Swisscom. "Running on both Internet-Box and WLAN-Box,
SoftAtHome's Smart Wi-Fi solution simplifies installation in the home
requiring one less device. With this enhanced user experience, we
satisfy important customer needs."

Solution for their WLAN-Box. Swisscom can now deliver best-in class
wireless connectivity in every corner of the home," said David
Viret-Lange, CEO of SoftAtHome. "I am proud that after five years of a
fruitful partnership, Swisscom has again placed its trust in our latest
technology."
