The widespread rollout of 10G fiber powered by XGS-PON requires upgrades to home and business Wi-Fi to deliver super-fast speeds to enabled devices. The "E" in Wi-Fi 6E signifies faster speeds and lower latency, ideal for the latest office applications, home entertainment, and work-from-home experiences.
In addition, Nokia has updated its Nokia WiFi Cloud Controller to act as a User Services Platform (USP) controller. USP is the industry-standard protocol (also known as TR-369) for managing services and configurations on network devices (either remotely via a cloud application or locally via a mobile app). Nokia's USP agent in Beacon 10 is based on the open-source OB-USPA, so it can be managed by any USP controller, including the Nokia WiFi Cloud Controller.
Nokia also highlights its advanced all-in-one console for Wi-Fi management and optimization. The console will be available to customer service operators, network administrators, field technicians, and Level 3 support personnel to provide advanced Wi-Fi optimization, troubleshooting, and management.
Nokia has established a comprehensive ecosystem of application developers to ensure that CSPs can offer their customers the value-added services they need on their Wi-Fi units. Beacon 10 supports F-Secure's latest fully integrated cybersecurity application, delivered as a containerized application.
