The selection of Celeno’s chips and embedded OptimizAIR™ 2.0 Wi-Fi management software technology will allow Cycle Century to meet the growing demand for Video-on-Demand and OTT services to multiple screens and mobile devices throughout the home, while ensuring the highest levels of reliability and performance.

“We see China as one of our biggest markets in the coming years and so we are delighted to be offering our next-generation solutions to one of China’s leading design houses,” said Celeno’s Founder and CEO, Gilad Rozen. “This deal, because of our partner, the quality of our products and our rapidly expanding physical presence, helps to establish Celeno’s reputation as the leader of smart, managed Wi-Fi solutions and will enable the delivery of the best end-user Wi-Fi experience to homes of millions of Chinese citizens”.

Celeno’s smart Wi-Fi software technology OptimizAIR™ 2.0 will enable the virtualization and management of Wi-Fi resources, so that Wi-Fi capacity can be dynamically apportioned and provisioned to different devices, services and applications.
