Our technology partner Plume has published an insightful whitepaper highlighting the differences between Plume's Adapt™ and EasyMesh®. We are happy to share these insights with you today!
A brief explanation of the two architectures:
Adapt™
Plume’s Adapt architecture is composed of two integral components: OpenSync and the Plume Cloud™.
OpenSync is an open source software that serves as a network framework. It enables communication between the access points and the cloud. The Plume Cloud acts as Adapt’s brain, which runs complex algorithms and optimizes homes.
EasyMesh®
EasyMesh is a standards-based system for WiFi networks.
The brain of EasyMesh is called the EasyMesh Controller, which operates inside the firmware of the customer premises equipment (CPE) to carry out various AP-to-AP and AP-to-device connection controls.
And what is the impact of these differences?
Plume has analyzed the impact of the two architectures on three characteristics required to deliver Quality of Experience (QoE) in multi-access point networks. These characteristics are:
- Open source software, which can be used in CPEs for control and monitoring.
- Access to data (WiFi, devices, applications, consumer behaviour) for optimization algorithms.
- Intelligent, predictive algorithms for real-time network optimization.
The analysis shows that Plume's Adapt is clearly superior in all respects!
The following figure, taken from the whitepaper, shows an important architectural difference between Adapt and EasyMesh. Adapt encompasses both CPE and cloud service definition, enabling a harmonized experience across all CPE vendors:
