InterDigital's AIM Performware solution is an RF interference management middleware product that minimizes the impact of RF interference in Wi-Fi networks. The solution is a modular and portable software architecture that can be easily integrated into a Wi-Fi manufacturer's access point platform with minimal customization. Using RF measurement-based technologies, a Wi-Fi access point enabled with AIM Performware can dynamically monitor the radio environment and automatically optimize important system parameters such as channel and power. The result is optimum performance, predictable and continuous coverage, and improved customer satisfaction.
Access points enabled with the software show substantial performance improvements over standard access points. For example, in tests with seven access points serving 70 Wi-Fi client devices in a large office environment, the system enabled with the AIM solution operated at average file transfer speeds per user six times greater than the same system using standard access points without Performware.
InterDigital's AIM Performware product is easy to implement, offering Wi-Fi access point manufacturers a differentiated solution for their products targeting the home, small business, and enterprise segments. Designed to operate independently of other access points or Wi-Fi devices, AIM Performware enabled access points can coexist with standard access points and can operate with all 802.11a/b/g devices.
