"ASSIA has always believed that effectively delivering broadband to the device is key for end-user QoE and recognition like this is the result," said Tuncay Cil, ASSIA chief strategy officer.  "Our vendor-neutral solutions enable service providers like TalkTalk to innovate and select the equipment of their choice, knowing that CloudCheck optimizations will interoperate with future technologies and standards. That is a major reason ASSIA is a significant contributor and participant of standards bodies such as BBWF, WFA, WBA, Prpl, and IEEE."

Joint Submission with TalkTalk
The award submission was a partnership with ASSIA customer TalkTalk and included QoE results from the TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub's use of the CloudCheck platform which performs over 20 million optimizations a day resulting in a:

  • 8% increase in average active throughput on 2.4GHz and 5GHz
  • 20% reduction in Wi-Fi interference
  • 23% increase in the number of stations that mainly operate in 5GHz band
  • 9dBm average RSSI gain
  • 30% of gateways with severe coverage issues had no coverage issues after optimization

Thanks to the continuous data collection and reporting to the CloudCheck platform, particularly troublesome issues such as time-of-day problems, faulty CPE devices, and intermittent annoyances are automatically monitored and diagnosed without the customer having to do anything.

CloudCheck and AI-driven QoE
The CloudCheck platform uses Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict key QoE parameters on individual Wi-Fi links between an AP and device without the need for software probes on both ends of the link. As a result, customers like TalkTalk have real-time and historical views of millions of devices simultaneously and accurately, ensuring optimum performance and diagnostics into the home environment and empowering the end-user with its rich insight.

In addition, the ASSIA CloudCheck platform incorporates new artificial intelligence-based algorithms that relate operational network stability metrics to consumer QoE in its diagnostics and optimization methods. Using operational data (ex: customer call and dispatch rates), the AI-based algorithms run two learning loops for diagnostics and optimization, and both loops work to maintain the maximum stable data rate on a given link.

TalkTalk
TalkTalk is the UK's leading value for money connectivity provider. TalkTalk believes that simple, affordable, reliable, and fair connectivity should be available to everyone. Since entering the market in the early 2000s, TalkTalk has a proud history as an innovative challenger brand.
