Ray has strived to ensure Simple and engaging User experience via intuitive UI design that reduces the learning curve whilst providing all the features expected of an Enterprise grade Wireless Access Point.

Eye

The EYE focusses on two key Network important to an Enterprise. One is to give a Stellar Wi-Fi user experience and two is to Minimize IT support costs.

To provide a Wi-Fi experience that is quantifiably good, the key service-level thresholds such as time to connect, capacity, coverage, throughput, and uptime must be visible and measurable. KPI can then be set on these parameters to understand their adherence.

To Minimize IT support costs, Ray plays a two-part role. Based on the inputs, the system Proactively optimize performance and can Prioritize applications, resources, and users without manual intervention. Secondly, the AI driven Anomaly detection to automate triggers to capture wireless and wired packets. These are fed into event correlation engine to build a platform that acts as your in-house IT 24×7.

Outdoor

Ray’s outdoor wireless access point are made from industrial-grade components and are certified for IP67* rating. This makes the wireless access points highly resistant to temperature and weather conditions and ensure optimal performance even in adverse conditions.

These help to extend Wi-Fi outdoors by providing a highly scalable coverage to deliver solid connectivity even in rugged and hazardous locations.

The external antenna extends coverage providing great throughput.

The dedicated 3rd radio in several Ray outdoor wireless access points provides wireless connectivity in hard to reach places without need of a wireline internet connection.

Insights

Network Security is the need of the day. Most of the users use Wi-Fi as a preferred Internet connection method and Ray uses this strategic position in the network to provide key Insights to the enterprise.

TRay can monitor, categorize and block web traffic passing through the Wireless Access Point. The categorization definitions are kept in sync with the best security companies in the security space.

Ray goes a step further to monitor, categorize and block L7 applications through a world class DPI engine running on the Wi-Fi access point.

Additionally, Ray can Geo Segment the traffic to understand the destination of the traffic. Ray can also expose traffic to TOR sites, Crypto currency mining sites and IP with low reputation and/or blacklisted IP. This can expose security holes in the network.

Insights gives a peace of mind to the IT admin by providing a visual network overview.

Mesh

The growth in connected devices and streaming services that rely on Wi-Fi connectivity has resulted in the need for smarter Wi-Fi networks that provide extended, uniform coverage across places that have no wired connectivity.

Ray uses Wi-Fi Alliance certified Wi-Fi EasyMesh and Qualcomm Wi-Fi SON to employ multiple access points that work together to form a unified network that provides smart, efficient Wi-Fi throughout the indoor and outdoor spaces.
