How Galgus’ AI-powered connectivity helps create smart territories
The AI-powered Wi-Fi technology from Galgus optimizes network performance, especially in high-density device and traffic environments.
Using machine learning algorithms, this distributed intelligence enables access points to make joint decisions after analyzing the environment, adjusting parameters in real time to ensure a stable and efficient connection without the need for centralized controllers. Additionally, it is 100% scalable and helps reduce operational costs.
To achieve this, it includes advanced features such as:
- Proactive Load Balancing: Distributes users in real time across radios based on traffic, congestion, and interference.
- Automatic Radio Resource Control and Smart Roaming: Dynamic adaptation and automatic assignment of channels and bandwidth using machine learning.
Location Analytics to Improve Citizens’ Lives and Enhance the Tourist Experience
Galgus’ Location Analytics solution provides accurate real-time data on user location and behavior across various environments. This technology enables public administrations and businesses to optimize resources, manage capacities, create heat maps, and analyze people flows.
All of this aims to provide improved public services and a tourism offering that meets the expectations of visitors.
This technology does not require users to register or take additional actions to be detected. Moreover, it offers unmatched accuracy in the market, as it can track devices not connected to the Wi-Fi network and avoid data distortions caused by MAC address randomization.
