TalkTalk Optimizes Residential Wi-Fi with ASSIA CloudCheck® Solution
Customer Quality of Experience proactively managed through combination of TalkTalk's next-generation Wi-Fi Hub and ASSIA's contextual analytics and machine learning
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Adaptive Spectrum and Signal Alignment, Inc. (ASSIA) and TalkTalk have announced the successful deployment of ASSIA CloudCheck(®) Wi-Fi management solution as part of TalkTalk's game-changing residential Wi-Fi Hub to improve Quality of Experience (QoE) for customers of the UK telecommunications operator. The CloudCheck cloud-based service measures, manages, diagnoses, and proactively optimizes in-home Wi-Fi networks using contextual analytics and machine learning. As part of their end-to-end Quality of Experience solution, TalkTalk also uses ASSIA's DSL Expresse(® )Dynamic Line Management software product to manage and optimize their broadband services. The solution will reach over a million households by the end of the year.
"In home Wi-Fi performance is increasingly becoming the primary factor in how a residential customer perceives the quality of service provided by their internet service provider," said Phil Haslam, Chief Network Officer at TalkTalk Plc. "Coupled with advances we have made in recent years analyzing network telemetry data to improve broadband connectivity performance, the ASSIA solution gives us the additional data and visibility we need to understand the various patterns that can affect in-home Wi-Fi performance--and the management and optimization tools to deliver the best experience for our customers."
"TalkTalk is a trailblazer in seeing the opportunity to deliver customer satisfaction by taking responsibility for the performance of home Wi-Fi," said David Stevenson, Chief Revenue Officer, ASSIA. "Their commitment to accurately measure broadband and Wi-Fi speeds, diagnose issues, and proactively optimize network performance aligns perfectly with our mission at ASSIA."
TalkTalk has implemented the complete CloudCheck software platform including CloudCheck TruSpeed(®) that accurately measures Broadband speeds to comply with the Ofcom VCOP (Voluntary Code of Practice). Today, UK homes equipped with TalkTalk's Wi-Fi hub are transparently measuring both broadband and Wi-Fi speed performance in order to proactively optimize in-home performance and help customers better understand issues of coverage, device obsolescence, and where necessary, optimize setup to improve customer experience--especially during peak times.
ASSIA's CloudCheck scoring and data mining capabilities will be released in June 2019 to further enhance TalkTalk's Customer Service Dashboard which has successfully used network telemetry data to more accurately pin point issues and solutions to poor connectivity. Both ASSIA and TalkTalk are committed to better assess and address major sources of customer quality of experience issues to improve the overall service provided.
