Hitless Topology

Your home WiFi environment is constantly evolving.
New devices joining your network, changing activity levels of nearby networks, and even interference from appliances can all impact performance. Plume’s cloud-managed system acts as a diligent monitor, continuously analyzing these factors (including the appearance and disappearance of neighboring networks and their activity levels) and automatically adjusts your network for optimal performance. In most cases, these adjustments are minor, such as changing radio channels to avoid congestion. However, more complex changes, such as switching the backhaul connection (the high-speed link that carries data traffic between nodes), can occasionally cause disruptions lasting several seconds, which may impact the customer experience.

Plume’s new Hitless Topology eliminates most of these disruptions.
Previously, in our deployment in Plume’s U.S. cloud, roughly 8% of optimizations in multi-node setups resulted in disruptions. With Hitless Topology, this number drops to less than 1%. This innovative technology allows Plume to keep your network continually optimized, seamlessly adapting to changing conditions, even when new devices with limited capabilities are connected.

Hitless Topology also works hand-in-hand with the Energy Aware Adapt feature.
This new feature allows Plume to achieve significant power savings when the network is not busy1, without compromising the industry-leading performance Plume WiFi users enjoy.
