Wireless quality advancement

Wireless Quality Advancement (WQA) is an area of WLAN management that aspires to high availability and solid performing networks.

WLAN networks of today (802.11 a/b/g/n) are lacking proactive network management. When compared to cellular networks, WLAN networks have significantly higher level of radio interference, less regulated environment and even more critical applications. Cellular networks (GSM, CDMA, WCDMA) are continuously monitored through thousands of statistical network event counters and derivative metrics, called key performance indicators (KPI’). WQA is a concept that brings similar active quality assurance to WLAN network management and that way also enables SLA’s.
