Nokia WiFi Beacon 1.1

Beacon for the intelligent mesh network

The Nokia WiFi Beacon 1.1 extends the whole home Wi-Fi experience for broadband subscribers. The Nokia WiFi Beacon 1.1 operates seamlessly together with selected Nokia residential gateways and/or other Nokia beacons, to create a whole home coverage mesh network backhauled by wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The Beacon 1.1 includes the Nokia WiFi Mesh Middleware which ensures the best possible Wi-Fi performance. The Mesh Middleware is EasyMesh[tm] compliant and allows the Wi-Fi network to seamlessly grow by adding Nokia WiFi Beacons. The end-user experience with the intelligent self-organizing mesh system is enhanced by a service provider's Wi-Fi care capabilities in the cloud and intuitive home user support using the Nokia WiFi Mobile App.

The Nokia WiFi Beacon 1.1 provides concurrent dualband Wi-Fi and enables triple play services with voice, video and data. When no dedicated gateway is in the network, the Nokia WiFi Beacon 1.1 will take the role of wireless router with access to the broadband network.

The Nokia WiFi Mesh Middleware creates a self-healing, self-optimizing network. It includes intelligent channel selection, band steering, client steering and backhaul management to provide the best Wi-Fi performance. As it is EasyMesh[tm] compliant, it provides interoperability and avoids vendor lock-in. The Nokia WiFi Beacon 1.1 is managed by the Nokia Corteca Home Controller.

The Home Controller gives help desk agents a real-time holistic view of the in-home network to assist them with easy identification and instantaneous resolution of issues. For the network administrators, it provides an end-to-end Wi-Fi network view and allows management of groups of Wi-Fi networks.
