Welcome to Plume IQ - our reveal of data-driven intelligence and consumer insights from 3 billion connected devices and 60 million locations, managed by Plume’s cloud platform. The data below is from a sample of our locations gathered last year.
Wi-Fi coverage is more important than ever
Hold the phone
It’s well known that support calls and truck rolls have a massive impact on the operational profitability of Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Plume Cloud data shows that call-in rates (CIR) increase rapidly in homes experiencing coverage alarms as the number of devices increases. While Plume households currently have an average of 17 Wi-Fi connected devices, Plume CTO Bill McFarland predicts this number to exceed 31 by 2022. ISPs will need solutions that can accommodate this level of growth to keep CIR at manageable levels. Plume’s solution reduces internet-related call-in rates by more than 50%. Read the white paper to learn more about solutions for whole-home Wi-Fi coverage.

In the press
“Rather than face the AT&Ts and Mediacoms of the world alone, Armstrong, the nation’s 10th largest provider of broadband, partnered with Plume, a smart home services company. Armstrong subscribers gained access to Plume’s Adaptive Wi-Fi service and HomePass network management platform. Not only did Armstrong gain a differentiator, but it also paved a new path to revenue in the process.” – Inc. Read the article>>
