Joint Submission with TalkTalk The award submission was a partnership with ASSIA customer TalkTalk and included QoE results from the TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub's use of the CloudCheck platform which performs over 20 million optimizations a day resulting in a: Thanks to the continuous data collection and reporting to the CloudCheck platform, particularly troublesome issues such as time-of-day problems, faulty CPE devices, and intermittent annoyances are automatically monitored and diagnosed without the customer having to do anything. CloudCheck and AI-driven QoE The CloudCheck platform uses Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict key QoE parameters on individual Wi-Fi links between an AP and device without the need for software probes on both ends of the link. As a result, customers like TalkTalk have real-time and historical views of millions of devices simultaneously and accurately, ensuring optimum performance and diagnostics into the home environment and empowering the end-user with its rich insight. In addition, the ASSIA CloudCheck platform incorporates new artificial intelligence-based algorithms that relate operational network stability metrics to consumer QoE in its diagnostics and optimization methods. Using operational data (ex: customer call and dispatch rates), the AI-based algorithms run two learning loops for diagnostics and optimization, and both loops work to maintain the maximum stable data rate on a given link.
