ACT Fibernet has shared early results of its ACT SmartWi-Fi® launch, powered by its proprietary router operating system (OS), ACT Zippy. Developed in partnership with Aprecomm, this cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology has demonstrated its ability to deliver a superior Wi-Fi experience, resulting in significantly higher Wi-Fi performance across all device types and fulfilling the company’s promise to transform in-home connectivity for its customers.
During the initial launch stages across 250,000 homes over 15 days, ACT SmartWi-Fi® users experienced an average of three times higher speeds delivered to all devices than in homes without the new smart Wi-Fi service. Specific devices showcased even more impressive gains—Smart TVs saw speeds improve by two times, laptops by three times, and smartphones by four times. Additionally, thanks to AI-powered intelligent optimisation, over 80 per cent of Smart TVs, over 70 per cent of laptops, and over 60 per cent of mobile devices were successfully steered to optimal Wi-Fi channels, ensuring a more reliable and higher-performing internet experience and resolving issues such as interference and congestion before they could impact the end user.
ACT SmartWi-Fi®, powered by Aprecomm’s agentic AI solution, proactively scans and monitors in-home Wi-Fi, identifying potential issues, such as congestion and interference, and optimises the experience in real-time through features like channel switching and band steering. This proprietary algorithm captures more than 15 parameters in real-time, calculating a Wi-Fi quality of experience score for each device and continuously optimises to ensure enhanced experience across all devices, applications, and corners of the home, 24/7. ACT Fibernet continues to lead the way in revolutionizing internet services in India, with ACT SmartWi-Fi® setting a new benchmark for in-home Wi-Fi performance. The company remains committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to empower its customers with seamless, high-speed connectivity for all their digital needs.
Commenting on the announcement, Ravi Karthik, chief marketing and customer experience officer, ACT Fibernet, said, “We are thrilled to see the transformative impact of ACT SmartWi-Fi® on our customers’ digital lives. Our initial launch data validates our commitment to delivering on our promise—ensuring a significantly superior online experience for our customers. Whether streaming on a Smart TV, working on a laptop, or browsing on a mobile device, ACT is redefining what high-performing internet looks like in Indian homes.”
Meanwhile, Pramod Gummaraj, founder and chief executive officer (CEO), Aprecomm, said, “The partnership has enabled us to push the boundaries of what is possible with in-home Wi-Fi. Our agentic AI solution, which currently enables ACT SmartWi-Fi®, works to optimise for every device and application to enable a superior Wi-Fi experience. This delivers, among other benefits, improved speed, reduced latency, and enhanced reliability. We are proud to be part of this journey to enhance connectivity for millions of users.”
