Comtrend Chooses Celeno for Smart Powerline Wi-Fi Extenders

ANGACOM, COLOGNE, Germany, June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Celeno Communications, the leading provider of smart managed Wi-Fi solutions and advanced networking solutions supplier Comtrend Corporation, announced that Celeno's Wi-Fi chipsets and smart Wi-Fi technology have been selected to power Comtrend's PowerGrid 9072 Powerline Ethernet + Wi-Fi 11ac Adaptor.

Powered by Celeno's CL1860 and CL2200 Wi-Fi Radios, the G.hn Powerline Concurrent Dual Band Wi-Fi Extenders were designed to meet the growing demand for perfect connectivity and coverage across multiple devices connected simultaneously throughout the home. Celeno's multi-AP Home Network Wi-Fi Controller software, ControlAIR™ is included in the Powerline Adaptors. This allows service providers to increase capacity, coverage and speed of Wi-Fi when adding smart companion Wi-Fi Access Points, Repeaters or Extenders in the home.

ControlAIR is the industry's only effective software solution to orchestrate multiple APs to increase throughput by adding smart cluster connectivity and dynamic Radio Resource Management (RRM) addressing the move towards a "small cell" Wi-Fi network or "Sprinklers" architecture for the wireless home of tomorrow. In addition to offering vastly improved coverage, expanded capacity and speed to wireless home networks, ControlAIR also allows increased power efficiency and less induced interference on adjacent networks.

"We are delighted that Comtrend, a leading networking solution vendor, has chosen to integrate Celeno's smart technology with their Powerline Adaptors," says Ronen Peleg, VP Sales and Business Development at Celeno. "At Celeno we believe that a combination of well-coordinated Gateway and multiple Wi-Fi extenders embedded with smart technology ensures the best coverage and Wi-Fi speed. Consumers continue to demand more from their home networks and today, much of that demand is centered on mobile devices. The more mobile device penetration we see, the more important it will be to extend and improve wireless coverage to enable consumers to enjoy perfect Wi-Fi in every corner of their home, while providing a perfect mobility experience based on a smooth optimal handover between Wi-Fi cells."

"Celeno is a strategic partner of Comtrend, and their leading edge solutions make for a critical addition to our home networking product portfolio," says Frank Chuang, VP Marketing of Comtrend. "Their smart Wi-Fi solution provides a significant advantage for our customers in terms of superior user experience and customer satisfaction, as well as by offering both extended coverage with reliable service and increased capacity in a distributed network."

Celeno's ControlAIR technology, which employs band-steering and Client steering technology, enables the seamless balancing of devices amongst the dual Wi-Fi bands and multiple extender devices. In addition, OptimizAIR 2.0 ensures the higher capacity and superlative QoS required for a distributed home network with multiple nodes. A simple single push of a button enables rapid self-install. For service providers, this results in a dramatic decrease in service calls and associated operating expenses due to an enhanced customer connectivity experience throughput the home.

The solution will be showcased at booth MS9 in Meeting Suite Hall 10.1 at Angacom in Cologne, Germany from June 7^th-9^th 2016.
