In today’s hyper-connected world, where seamless wireless connectivity is critical to business success, Cisco is once again raising the bar. We are thrilled to announce the general availability of Cisco AI-Enhanced Radio Resource Management (AI-RRM) for Cisco Meraki Wireless.  What is Cisco AI-RRM? Cisco AI-RRM is designed to maximize RF efficiency from your network’s air time resources, using the power of AI, machine learning, reinforced learning, and deep learning technologies. By leveraging long-term trend-based analytics, Cisco AI-RRM ensures your network operates at its best, dynamically optimizing RF settings to deliver the ultimate wireless experience. How Cisco AI-RRM Benefits Businesses Wireless networks are the backbone of modern businesses, and Cisco AI-RRM ensures they operate at their very best. Here’s how our latest innovation benefits customers: Peak Performance During Busy Hours Have you ever noticed that wireless networks slow down just when you need them the most—during meetings, events, or peak business hours? Cisco AI-RRM solves this challenge by continuously optimizing RF performance, ensuring networks handle busy periods with ease.   Weeks of labors and costs of RF optimization reduces to seconds by AI-Powered RF Optimization  RRM Configurations and optimizations requires constant attentions and often requires laborious on-site survey and report generation. Cisco AI-RRM uses machine learning algorithms to fine-tune and optimize RF settings in real-time. It saves On-site travel and weeks of monitoring and repetitive manual optimization efforts into fully automated AI exercises, not just saving costs but significantly improves productivity of NetOps and line of business.    Better Wireless Experiences Say goodbye to dropped connections, dead zones, and inconsistent performance. Cisco AI-RRM improves overall network reliability, providing seamless connectivity for users, IoT devices, and mission-critical applications. Unmatched Scale and Intelligence trained by largest Wireless network deployments   Powered by Cisco’s AI Cloud, Cisco AI-RRM leverages one of the largest and most diverse wireless datasets in the world.  AI-RRM has been consuming and accelerating contributing to the data lake lake - the algorithms were trained from the configs of all wireless since Cisco hung the first antenna.  The Power of Long-Term Analytics and Prediction Smarter Adjustments: Avoids unnecessary changes to maintain stability and maximize efficiency. Proactive Optimization: Anticipates future needs to keep the network prepared for growth and new challenges. Efficient Resource Allocation: Ensures air time resources are allocated with precision, delivering peak performance consistently.     AI Advantage, Measured   One of the key consideration upon the adoption of AI-powered technology is transparency and explainability. especially when we measure the efficacy of RF improvements, Network admin requires standard methodology to measure it's outcome and compare it with previous status.   and Here AI-RRM service offers a quantifiable, comparative before & after analytics and Peer comparisons. It highlights measurable improvements in key metrics such as RF health score, interference reduction, and channel change counts. Based on the research from all of AI-RRM Early Access networks,  AI-RRM proved that it improves RF Score - RF spectral availability - and wireless capacity across all sized network and especially more effective in the most challenging environment such as high-density, under high interferences environment.   for example, in 2.4 GHz, AI-RRM improves RF score by +50 to 300%. especially with Flexible Radio Assignment feature that intelligently eliminates redundant 2.4GHz radio cells and for 5GHz, AI-RRM improves RF score Up to +27% improvements.  This intelligent optimization results in impressive improvements such as up to -40 % reduction in co-channel interference and +7 dB gains in signal-to-noise ratio for wireless clients.  This transparency allows customers to see the tangible benefits of AI-driven RF optimization, demonstrating how the system has maximized performance and minimized inefficiencies. With AI-RRM, network administrator can validate the impact of every optimization and gain confidence in their network’s ability to deliver peak performance consistently. Award-Winning Innovation Cisco AI-RRM’s impact on enterprise wireless hasn’t gone unnoticed. Earlier this year, it was recognized with the prestigious Wi-Fi NOW Enterprise Wireless Award for 2024, cementing its status as a leader in the wireless industry. This recognition reflects Cisco’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that redefine what’s possible in wireless networking. The Power of Cisco AI Cloud At the heart of Cisco AI-RRM is our AI Cloud platform, a massive Cisco Assurance Cloud platform that serves billions of wireless data points for the last 6 years from millions of Cisco APs in the globe. This scale and intelligence are unmatched in the industry, enabling Cisco AI-RRM to provide insights and optimizations that are both granular and global in scope. Our decades of experience in networking innovation, combined with the vast scale of our AI Cloud platform, give businesses a unique advantage: the ability to stay ahead of the curve in an ever-changing digital landscape.
