Qualcomm Wi-Fi SON and Distributed Networking

Installing wireless routers/home gateways and adding devices and Wi-Fi range extenders is easy with auto-discovery and smartphone integration.

A hacked lightbulb could compromise an entire network. The Wi-Fi SON framework allows OEMs to offer security technology that could continuously learn and adapt to user behavior in order to identify and protect against potential threats.

Mesh networking finds alternate connection paths in multi-router networks or those taking advantage of range extenders. If there’s a bandwidth bottleneck or a hang-up on an existing connection, the network switches access points to continue delivering optimal performance.

Features include automatic performance degradation detection and dynamic band steering that serves devices across bands for optimized network capacity. Seamless roaming ensures bandwidth is available when and where it’s needed. End-to-end content-aware routing makes sure each device gets the appropriate bandwidth, whether it’s transferring a file, streaming 4K video, or web browsing.
