When we use the internet, a slow or interrupted navigation is one of the most annoying things that can happen, isn\u2019t it? This situation is more likely to happen on high demand scenarios, when a lot of users want to use the same network. To the people in charge of these networks, those situations can become a nightmare. Fortunately, there are solutions such as the ones that offer the Software-Defined paradigm. Don\u2019t lose this opportunity to learn the main concepts of Software-Defined WiFi and why you should think about using it.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Due to the situation going on, it might be difficult to image the scenarios that we propose you, but try your best:<\/p>\n

You are in a concert or enjoying a match in the stadium. Probably, you\u2019ll want to share this moment on your social networks or text your friends to make them jealous. But you won’t be the only one doing it, there will be thousands or hundreds of people having the same idea.<\/p>\n

Of course, in all these situations, you have the option to have a WiFi connection and probably, you\u2019ll do it, saving your mobile data connection forfait.<\/p>\n

Now, take the time to think about the work that these connections means to these wireless networks. With no doubt, to comply with the high demands at those situations requires the use of high performance technologies.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the case of Software-Defined WiFi. Do you want to know more about it? Stay here.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Software-Defined WiFi?<\/h2>\n

Software-Defined WiFi is a new paradigma about the functionalities of a wireless network. More precisely, it consists of the release of advanced abilities in analytics, safety, management and optimization for any WiFi network. A feature that has been limited by the default hardware.<\/p>\n

How it ‘s done? The technology has a design that separates the hardware from the software. In other words, the software aspects are totally independent from the physical aspects.<\/p>\n

Software-Defined WiFi is conceived to face the challenges that come with the fast evolution in the field of telecommunications. Among them we can find:<\/p>\n
