When in the presence of overlapping wireless access network technologies

 IWiNS is a "milestone" for the industry's 10G efforts, McKinney said, noting that work on the project got underway back in 2018. He said the technology uses adaptive traffic steering that allows customers to automatically maintain a solid broadband experience across a wide range of devices when in the presence of overlapping wireless access network technologies.

And rather than performing a simple handoff between those various types of access networks, IWiNS uses anonymized crowd sourcing data and real-time reporting of traffic congestion to effectively re-route the customer to the most optimized experience, McKinney said. As a step further, the technology is also designed to steer mobile traffic based on specific applications, such as videoconferencing or simple web browsing, dependent on their individual needs or demands for upstream or downstream capacity and even lower latencies, he said.

An executive summary for IWiNS posted online notes that consumers typically struggle to perform manual network troubleshooting. It also cites computer science and engineering research finding that 64% of mobile customers have experienced connectivity issues that resulted in them forgetting Wi-Fi networks or turning Wi-Fi off altogether due to bad perceived quality. IWiNS attempts to tackle this with a blend of network and application awareness capabilities.
