Intel is launching a program to help wireless solution providers generate unique networking and system insights to deliver enhanced applications and services to their customers.
The new Intel Connectivity Analytics (ICA) originated as a feature collaboration with Cisco to enable Intel-based PCs to share client information securely with Cisco access points to facilitate IT network and device management and offer proactive customer support.
Subject to end-user and managed service provider consent, Intel Connectivity Analytics can be implemented by service providers to provide unique hardware and software-based insights that can help service providers better understand local network conditions from the PC client’s perspective. Capabilities include:
- Network performance optimization (health).
- Dynamic bandwidth adjustment for critical usages (quality of service).
- Security threat detection and issue resolution (security).
- Asset tracking and facility resource management (sensing/location).
- Client networking performance monitoring and technical support (UX/support).
The program is already being integrated with new program participants Wyebot and Ambeent.
Intel says that as more service providers join its Intel Connectivity Analytics program, greater awareness of connectivity issues and challenges on managed devices will support the development of new innovations around PC networking and ultimately enable better user experiences.
