ISTANBUL and AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 13,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AirTies, the most widely deployed
provider of managed Wi-Fi Mesh solutions to global service
providers, announced today has opened a new R&D center in
Austin, Texas, including a new
test home that replicates real-world usage of in-home Wi-Fi to
support customers in North
America.
Unlike traditional Wi-Fi, which relies on a single Wi-Fi Access
Point (AP) on a home gateway/router, AirTies' Managed Mesh Solution
uses multiple Mesh Extenders to create an intelligent Mesh Wi-Fi
network throughout consumers' homes to deliver fast and consistent,
whole-home Internet coverage. With operations around the globe,
AirTies provides premium in-home Wi-Fi solutions to leading
international service providers, such as Atlantic Broadband,
Frontier, Midco, Orange, Singtel, Sky (SKY Q in the UK;
Germany; Italy; and New
Zealand), Swisscom, Vodafone, and many others.
AirTies noted that it has signed undisclosed contracts with
additional service providers in North
America, prompting this additional investment in the R&D
facility. In addition, long-time AirTies executive, Mujdat Pakkan,
EVP of Customer Programs, has relocated to oversee the new
Austin
facility.
"We're very excited to open our first R&D center outside of
Europe in order to support the
growing market opportunity in North
America," said Philippe
Alcaras, CEO of AirTies. "Austin's central location and pool of
incredible, high-tech talent made it a very appealing choice for
us. Looking ahead, we expect North American Internet and TV
service providers to drive significant business for us, and this
facility is built with them in mind."
In addition to an R&D office, AirTies test home in
Austin will support automated
in-home Wi-Fi testing using the company's AirBot system. AirBots
are robots that can be controlled remotely to travel on tracks
throughout a home carrying various Wi-Fi devices to conduct various
real-world use tests in a multi-floor dwelling. An example of
an AirBot equipped home can be seen here:

AirTies' international headquarters and R&D centers are in
Turkey, and the company has other
R&D offices in the UK and Greece, along with other offices in
the United States (Sunnyvale, CA), and China. With AirTies, service providers can
seize new opportunities to improve customer satisfaction, drive
incremental revenue, and differentiate with new classes of premium
Wi-Fi services. Additional information about AirTies can be found
