How ACT Fibernet Is Leveraging AI To Revolutionise In-Home Wi-Fi Connectivity

ACT Fibernet (Atria Convergence Technologies Ltd) recently introduced ACT SmartWi-Fi, an innovative AI-powered solution designed to transform in-home Wi-Fi connectivity. The state-of-the-art technology aims to revolutionise the home internet experience by ensuring seamless, high-speed connectivity across all devices and applications, irrespective of their location within a household. 

Through its strategic partnership with Aprecomm.ai, ACT Fibernet has upgraded its router operating system (OS) to ACT Zippy, a proprietary OS that enhances performance, reliability, and user satisfaction.

Redefining Home Connectivity

ACT SmartWi-Fi is ACT Fibernet’s response to the rapidly evolving digital landscape, where homes are increasingly filled with smart devices, streaming services, and remote work setups. The introduction of ACT Zippy, the proprietary router OS, marks a significant technological leap. 

It transforms traditional routers into intelligent systems that proactively manage and optimise network performance in real-time. This system continuously scans for potential interferences, dynamically adjusts settings, and ensures that every connected device enjoys optimal connectivity without manual intervention.

The core strength of ACT SmartWi-Fi lies in its AI-driven optimisation capabilities. By monitoring over 15 Wi-Fi-related parameters, ACT Zippy identifies potential issues before they impact user experience. This proactive approach includes advanced features like channel switching and band steering. 

Channel switching helps avoid network congestion by selecting the least crowded Wi-Fi channels automatically, while band steering intelligently directs devices to the most suitable frequency band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) based on their requirements and current network conditions. These features collectively ensure uninterrupted connectivity, which is particularly beneficial for bandwidth-intensive activities such as online gaming, video conferencing, and high-definition streaming. They also offer the best Wi-Fi plans that come with bundle subscriptions to platforms like Netflix.

Speaking about ACT SmartWi-Fi, ACT Fibernet’s chief marketing officer, Ravi Karthik said, “ACT SmartWi-Fi scans your unique home environment and automatically improves the Wi-Fi experience for all connected devices. This level of automation and intelligence ensures that customers receive a consistently superior internet experience, tailored to the unique demands of their homes.”

How Will ACT SmartWi-Fi Optimise User Experience?

Founded in 2000, ACT Fibernet has grown into one of India’s largest wired internet service providers (ISPs). Headquartered in Bengaluru, the company operates in over 30 cities, serving nearly 2.3 Mn customers. 

ACT Fibernet has built a reputation for providing high-speed internet connections, backed by reliable customer support. The company offers a diverse range of plans tailored to various budgets and usage requirements, ensuring that both residential and business customers receive the best possible service.

“The introduction of ACT SmartWi-Fi showcases our commitment to enhancing user experience. This innovative feature brings significant improvements to home internet performance, with the ACT Zippy OS continuously monitoring and optimising Wi-Fi performance in real-time. As a result, customers can enjoy strong, stable connections across all their devices, whether they’re streaming movies, participating in virtual meetings, or engaging in online gaming,” Karthik said.

The proprietary algorithm at the heart of ACT SmartWi-Fi calculates a unique Wi-Fi score for each device and application, continuously optimising parameters to enhance this score. This ensures that every connected device receives the best possible performance, reducing lag, buffering, and connectivity drops. 

The algorithm’s real-time analysis and adjustment capabilities are particularly beneficial in households with multiple users and devices, where network demands can change rapidly.

“ACT SmartWi-Fi is pre-installed in all new ACT routers, ensuring that new customers can immediately benefit from its advanced features. For existing customers, ACT Fibernet is rolling out updates in phases to upgrade compatible routers with the ACT Zippy OS. This approach ensures a smooth transition and allows the company to manage the rollout effectively,” Karthik added.
