C Spire is partnering with Plume to introduce a whole-home WiFi solution for its residential broadband program, which includes gigabit speed Internet access, live streaming TV and digital home phone service.
The solution, powered by Plume, is being offered to new and existing customers of C Spire Home, the division that manages the company's residential fiber program. Subscribers get the Plume app, two SuperPods that plug into home wall sockets and services like content filtering, online security, remote WiFi access and more for $10 per month.
"Smart WiFi is advanced technology that gives our FTTH customers more control of their home Internet experience and more coverage than ever before," said Ashley Phillips, general manager of C Spire Home, noting that the service features Plume Adaptive WiFiT, parental controls, AI Security and HomePass, which lets users control guest and child access to their network, set up profiles and pause Internet access.
Phillips said Smart WiFi gives consumers of the company's residential broadband service more bandwidth on demand in any room of the home with Plume Adaptive WiFi, sending the signal to the area where it is needed the most. "The best part about this service is that homeowners can control everything from one easy smartphone or tablet application, Phillips said."
Plume's Adaptive WiFi cloud-based software uses artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and improve performance in real-time to support a variety of smart home applications, including door openers, door locks, security cameras, digital voice assistants, WiFi thermostats, multi-player gaming, streaming video and other IoT devices.
"Plume's Smart Home Services bundle provides highly personalized in-home experiences, learning the needs of the home to make WiFi faster, safer and more reliable and easier for the homeowner to manage," said Tyson Marian, CCO of Plume. "Consumers want the best Internet user experience on every device, and these services deliver on that promise."
