  • At Accelera we worked on developing SaaS cloud platform that helps SMBs manage, secure and optimze the performace of the wireless access points deployed on premises.The USP of the solution is that it can work on devices of any hardware vendor in a plug n play manner. We integrated Self Organizing Networks(SON) with Software Defined Networking (SDN).
  • 1. Involved in System Architecture design and development of Service Oriented Architecture(SOA) based SON Server that is massively scalable to store and process huge chunks of incoming data from millions of Access Points simultaneously in real time.
  • 2. Designed and implemented features like channel configuration, AP monitoring and various other features from SON cloud server.
  • 3. Designed and developed Access Point(AP) simulator to validate scalability of SON server. It deploys a virtual environment of a large number of APs and sends mock client data to SON cloud server which will run algorithms on the received data in realtime.
  • 4. Designed and developed WiFi Diagnostics engine. Diagnostics engine uses the periodic data received from APs to determine client connection quality, radio quality and WAN connection quality based on various parameters in inference engine. Based on the output of inference engine, the diagnostics engine will provide real-time recommendations on Administrator web dashboard which will help resolve various AP related issues like coverage and low throughput etc.
