THE JOURNEY TO A VIRTUAL WIRELESS ASSISTANT

Many pundits predict that Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is the next big “game changing” technology, poised to impact virtually every facet of our lives in the coming years. According to Gartner Inc., by 2020, A.I. technologies will be virtually pervasive in almost every new software product and service, and A.I. will be a top five investment priority for more than 30 percent of CIOs.

In the world of wireless networking, A.I. is already showing enormous value. The Mist Learning WLAN uses machine learning and neural networks to simplify operations, expedite troubleshooting, and provide unprecedented visibility into the user experience. But we are just on the cusp of its true potential, with the promise of a true virtual wireless assistant right around the corner that can proactively identify and fix problems and predict future events quickly and reliably.

How do you take advantage of A.I. in wireless networking today, and what steps should you be taking to position yourself for this emerging world?
