Plume Adaptive WiFi™ cloud control agent comes
pre-integrated into MediaTek Wi-Fi SOC platforms for home gateways,
extenders, and Pods; accelerates time-to-market for cloud managed
Wi-Fi implementation
At the CES 2018, Plume Design, Inc. and MediaTek (TWSE: 2454)
announced pre-integration, testing and qualification of Plume
Adaptive WiFi™ cloud control and management capabilities into a
broad set of MediaTek platforms. Original Design Manufacturers
(ODMs) and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can now offer
turn-key, cloud-managed, premium Wi-Fi to their ISP customers using
MediaTek Systems-on-Chips (SoCs).
MediaTek SoC platforms enabled by the Plume Adaptive WiFi™ Agent
can interoperate with both MediaTek and third party Wi-Fi SoC
platforms through the Plume Adaptive WiFi™ Cloud - joining a multi
vendor, cloud-controlled Wi-Fi network infrastructure rapidly being
adopted by top tier ISPs. The Plume Adaptive WiFi™ solution is the
only hardware agnostic, open platform control plane for Wi-Fi
management and optimization that can work across a broad range of
silicon and Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) hardware from multiple
manufacturers.
“Our ISP customers globally are always looking for higher
performance and smarter Wi-Fi solutions,” said Alan Hsu, General
Manager of Home Smart Device Business Unit, MediaTek. “By
collaborating with Plume on this new, powerful adaptive Wi-Fi
eco-system, we deliver best-in-class products and solutions to our
partners and customers.”
The joint MediaTek – Plume solution includes the ability to
upgrade already deployed CPEs incorporating certain MediaTek SoC
platforms for connection to the Plume Cloud via firmware updates,
enabling the ISPs to implement adaptive Wi-Fi via both new and
existing hardware.
An ultra-compact, cost optimized and form-factor-ready dual-band
Pod reference design incorporating the MediaTek chipsets MT7621A
and MT7615D for dual-band 2x2 platform is available for licensing
from Plume for both ISP and retail applications. Dual-band 4x4
(MT7621A and two of MT7615) and tri-band 2+2+4
(MT7621A+MT7615+MT7615D) configurations are also available and can
be enabled easily for various products and applications.
“We welcome MediaTek into the Plume Adaptive WiFi™ ecosystem,”
said Aman Singla, co-founder and software lead at Plume. “Bringing
disruptive innovations to market faster than others is perhaps the
biggest competitive advantage for leading ISPs today. Our
collaboration with MediaTek is a key ingredient in enabling an open
eco-system, innovating at the consumer pace, and implementing at
carrier scale,” Singla concluded.
