April/May 2023 - Release Notes

See below for detailed release notes on the new features, improvements and bug fixes added to Preseem in April and May.

Highlights

Automatic Access Point Capacity Management

Preseem provides tools to manage capacity to ensure a good subscriber experience proactively. Even in a proactively managed network, however, there can be access points that are at their capacity that deliver a poor experience.

Automatic Access Point Capacity Management provides a hands-off, time-saving solution to easily manage AP congestion and maintain a superior quality of experience (QoE) for subscribers.

Leveraging Preseem’s unique data pool, Automatic AP Capacity Management automatically limits traffic to below the point at which congestion begins. The system then calculates the ideal rate continuously so subscribers get a good experience, even when they’re on overloaded APs.

Easy button slide

This means significantly lower latency at peak busy hours on oversubscribed APs, leading to happier customers and fewer support calls. As well, AP upgrades can be safely delayed without affecting subscriber QoE.

New Features

  • Automatic Access Point Capacity Management (see highlights)
  • Launched a system status page that shows the status of Preseem’s cloud-side services
  • Tarana BNs show their connected RNs in the Network view
    • The serial number, MAC address, and model of each RN are displayed in the Connections tab of the AP detail view
    • The BNs are listed in the CPE Radios view

Improvements

  • Web app load times have been improved (reduced size and CDN changes)
  • Load times for charts in the network view have been significantly improved

Bug Fixes

  • 40+ small web app bug fixes
  • Ubiquiti airtime was not calculating properly: For fixed-framing configurations, it could add up to 200% (downstream + upstream).  This has been corrected so that the airtime is properly normalized to the down/up ratio.
