WBAs Wireless Global Congress, organized by the Wireless Broadband Alliance Ltd. will take place from 8th May to 11th May, 2017 at the Excel London in London, UK. The conference will cover areas like Wi-Fi in the Connected World, Driving Next Generation Wi-Fi: Innovations, Convergence & Monetization and What´s Next for Wi-Fi – Emerging Technologies, Applications and Services. BlueRibbonwill be exhibiting assurance solutions which help in rapid deployments of Next Generation Wireless networks (LTE-U, LAA, 5G NR and Multifire) at Booth #6 on 10-11 May 2017.

Cellular, WiFi and Broadband industry is the back bone of today’s “Always Connected World”….a world driven by the avalanche of Internet-of-things (IoT), connected cars and connected home. People’s insatiable desire for faster & reliable connectivity, newer & better connected devices is fueling the industry.

With a focus of maximizing experience of connectivity, BlueRibbon’s disruptive core technology, the AInstein platform (AIP), seamlessly monitors, measures and helps optimize the network connectivity and its user experience. IA Platform is the foundation for multiple products namely the “IA Wi-Fi Assurance Suite,” “IA Network Assurance Suite,” & “IA Device Assurance Suite.”

AInstein, designed by BlueRibbon, lets you accomplish just that, and more. With cloud based client-server architecture, you can easily mimic the customer behavior, collect data and analyze it to take corrective measures with minimal human intervention, be it device diagnostics, app analytics etc. Let’s try to understand how this works with a live case.

Few months ago BlueRibbonwas approached by WavCatcher, a phone accessories company in the DFW area. The client wanted to quality test their new phone case. This phone case was developed to enhance user experiences by boosting Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals, in turn saving battery consumption. With the help of AInstein, we identified six critical KPIs and four different test scenarios, which consisted a combination of LTE and Wi-Fi both with and without GPS.

To conduct deeper analysis and provide more relevant recommendations, we performed this test using an iPhone 6s as the base phone. The three comparative tests included iPhone 6s with the client’s phone case, iPhone 6s with a competitor’s phone case and another with no phone case. A quick illustration of the tests can be found below:

After running all these complex simulations, we provided the client with detailed reports, which stated that the new phone case designed by the client was indeed outperforming its competitors. All these reports were very user-friendly and were created using AInstein itself. This tool made the entire process of running the tests very quick, efficient and automated.

AInstein Platform (AIP) is a fully automated, cloud based mobile platform. IA Platform is the foundation for multiple products namely, IA-WiFi Suite, IA-Network Suite, IA-Multi-media Suite and IA-Device Suite. IA platform can compose and BlueRibbonte actions on Mobile devices/Network elements in any Cellular or WiFi network, by measuring, analyzing and reporting metrics related to service, network equipment, device, and applications.

AInstein can easily execute a wide range of mobile tasks, capture the vast amount of data, and process the data into actionable reports. Helping this phone accessories company evaluate its product’s viability, was just one of the many ways BlueRibbonis able to serve customers. We strive hard to provide best customizable solutions for any client that we work with, so that they can make their customers happy.

WavCatcher Inc., (www.wavcatcher.com) a phone accessories company in the DFW area, is a cutting edge wireless developer specializing in conformal antenna and phased array solutions. WavCatcher is releasing this year, its first consumer product, a smartphone case that expands cellular, WiFi and Bluetooth signal coverages. With a WavCatcher case on their device, consumers will experience fewer service interruptions, faster data throughput and longer battery life. WavCatcher’s mission is to create products and solutions that will help people, literally and metaphorically, go farther.

Chinese Institute of Engineers (CIE) hosted its 27^th annual convention with a concentrate on Technology, Manufacturing, Operation and Services.   BlueRibbonis one organization that shares the same vision by bringing together best of Talents, Technology and Services in the area of wireless communications and networking.

Very well recognized as a Mobility Expert, Jairaj was invited as one of the key note speakers at CIE 27^th annual convention to share his technical expertise & experience and, serve the very purpose of the symposium “Smart City, SmartLife”.http://www.cie-fw.org/events/2016/convention/symposium.html.

During his discourse, Jairaj talked of the various challenges of Internet of Things and the command and control that can be done with IoT, with a bigger focus on the Security issues that is faced with IoT. Jairaj says, ‘’ IoT is a seamless combination of embedded intelligence, ubiquitous connectivity and deep analytical insights. It is a deep kinetics of things creating unique and disruptive value for businesses, consumers and societies. A Phenomena that can scale high because of falling hardware costs, cloud services and relatively ubiquitous communications.”  He discussed the different challenges in deploying IoT services, the value propositions, the scalability that has to be achieved and how to convert the challenges into opportunities by way of scaling services, applications, censors and infrastructure.

With the limitless opportunities that this computing concept brings about, comes along challenge of making it insusceptible. The advent of high scale IoT poses various kind of threats like DDos, Information disclosure, Device Spoof/MIMT, Poor Management etc. He emphasised on how any weak link can bring about device-to-device attack. IoT is comprised of interdependent, complex and cumbersome network where there are many stakeholders and service providers at each point in the architecture. The whole system starting from the gateway to network, to devices, to end point, to data centre, have their own bringing off and any compromise of device at any stage, internally or externally, can corrupt the whole system. He suggests that IoT vulnerabilities is mainly because the devices are very small in size and the constant pressure to bring the cost down.

In his presentation, Jairaj proposed for an IoT security model that can be based on Scalability & better management of devices and; adopting some basic principles like using standards wherever possible, in-depth defence mechanism, all IoT applications to be run in secured containers, all code to be signed & only trusted code to be executed, all communications to be encrypted & authenticated, all access to resources to be authenticated and authorized etc.

He also accentuated the importance of ‘End Point Identity Management’ and put forward the measures for effective End point Identity Management-all end points, including devices and applications, must be enrolled before they participate in the IoT system; the end point must either authenticate itself directly or be vouched for, by a previously enrolled gateway; configurable delegation of trust for different use cases and; a safe end-of-life process for the engaged devices. He suggested the Cooperative Security Fabric in the Enterprise so as to find out the global security threat and finally, the micro segmentation so that the data and information does not propagate.

Under Jairaj’ s leadership, BlueRibbonis breaking barriers with Enterprise Mobility smart solutions and fostering innovations in the area of Internet of Things. The team aims to build solutions for Mobile Architecture in order to better manage mobile devices, wireless networks and cloud computing for the businesses.
