WiFi Channel Optimization

The document discusses WiFi Channel Optimization, a feature in AVSystem's UMP Cloud that automatically manages and optimizes WiFi channels for devices. It performs calculations based on number of devices using a channel, signal strength, and neighboring channels. It is a 3 step process of assessing current channels, checking other available channels, and changing to the best channel calculated. Benefits include customizable options and automatic adaptation to changes.

UMP CLOUD_

WiFi Channel Optimization


Wifi Channel Optimization feature in AVSystem’s UMP Cloud brings a new innovative
solution that lets you easily and automatically manage and optimize WiFi for all your
devices. WiFi Channel Optimization assesses the quality of currently used WiFi channels,
checks for other available channels and picks the best one for a specific device. The feature
can be run on a chosen group of devices and thanks to the special algorithm it is able to
proactively assign the current best WiFi channels to all devices in the group.

WiFi Channel Optimization performs certain calculations to find the optimal WiFi channel
to connect to. These calculations are based on 3 variables formula:
1. The number of devices which are using the same WiFi channel at the same time.
2. A device’s signal strength.
3. The number of devices using other neighbouring WiFi channels.
The feature itself is a 3-step procedure. WiFi Channel Optimization executes all 3 steps
taking the above formula into account.

WiFi Channel Optimization in 3 steps

Step 1
Assessing the quality of currently used WiFi channel, assigning a rank to each channel,
and marking devices that use a channel which received a relatively low rank.

Step 2
Checking the quality of other WiFi channels available from your regulatory domain
per every device.

Step 3
Changing the channel to the one with the highest score from 1 to 100 which has been calculated
by performing Step 1 and Step 2.

Example results:

On top of that, WiFi Channel Optimization can mark WiFi channels that have a value lower than
50 (or other value that you can set) and thus prevent overlapping. Such devices are then placed in
a dedicated group for further troubleshooting to find the cause of faulty connectivity. Using WiFi
Channel Optimization, you can generate valuable reports, which can be scheduled periodically,
stored in the system or sent to your support team via e-mail. Reports and statistics made
available thanks to the WiFi Channel Optimization feature include:

• A list of devices that are currently having • A list of devices that are potentially in
problems with overlapping channels danger due to their channel reaching a score
• Reports with the changes which were (e.g. 50) that qualifies them for
performed automatically troubleshooting

Benefits
• Fully customizable • Ability to perform operations on the group of
- You can control which regulatory domain devices (unlike Wi-Fi Scan feature)
your devices should be using & on which • Automatic adaptation to changing environment

- You can change the threshold that indicates • Higher Customer satisfaction resulting in
which device should be considered around 30% decrease in Customer Care calls
