Service experience provider SoftAtHome has announced the deployment of Telenor’s Wi-Fi Amplifier to improve Wi-Fi coverage for VDSL subscribers and offer stronger data security with built-in filters, automatic software updates and simpler setup.

The leading Norwegian operator’s Wi-Fi Ruter is powered by SoftAtHome’s Wifi’ON technology in order to bring smart Wi-Fi to the home with automatic selection of the optimal network frequency. The company believes that the ideal place to implement secure and improved Wi-Fi reception throughout the home is within the home gateway and the operator believes that its system is ideally suited to manage all connected devices, especially those seeing use for application such as video, in a market of over 800,000 connected households.

The new Wi-Fi Amplifier device, uses the MQTT protocol for real-time data transfer to the operator, enabling rapid software updates via Telenor’s SkyNet solution. The Wi-Fi Amplifier pairs automatically with an installed Wi-Fi Ruter.

“Since launching in January, our Wi-Fi Ruter has seen a very encouraging start,” said Camilla Amundsen, CMO Fixed and TV of Telenor Norway. “SoftAtHome's team have shown deep Wi-Fi expertise to help us deliver best-of-breed Wi-Fi for our Norwegian subscribers. We are excited to be launching the new Wi-Fi Amplifier so our customers can extend coverage throughout their homes.”

David Viret-Lange, SoftAtHome CEO added: “Telenor Norway has continually proven to be innovative, offering advanced services and features. We are proud to work with the leading Norwegian operator because they understand the importance of Wi-Fi quality. We are helping them regain control of their installed base so they can regularly bring new innovative services”
