Campus

Between the increase in new students stressing the network, the addition of new office buildings and the complexity of BYOD, IT managers at Universities are having an difficult time ensuring maximum QOS between their WiFi and fixed line connections.

AxonPulse offers great remote access to see each wireless and fixed line connection and reports the student/faculty experience right to you. Get instant visibility into the various access points to ensure customer's are happy as well as your fixed line network is optimal

Events

Internet access is not simply a perk but rather a utility and asset, like dining or merchandising, that is woven into your brand experience.

Providing Wi-Fi to high-density environments is one of the key logistical issues in accomplishing a seamless business, fan, and backend WiFi experience throughout your venue.

Finance

It's becoming standard practice in every bank branch to offer customers free WiFi in the lobbies.

That added perk, adds stress to you and opportunity for poor customer service, if not monitored closely.

AxonPulse offers great remote access to see each wireless and fixed line connection and reports the customer experience right to you. Get instant visibility into the various access points to ensure customer's are happy as well as your fixed line network is optimal.

Hospitality

Guests have many options in hospitality and even more outlets to post about their experiences for others to see. Top review sites like TripAdvisor, provide direct visibility into good and bad experiences.

If a guest has a bad experience with WiFi, their complaints can have a trickling effect on the hotel. From poor satisfaction scores, to lack in repeat business, the bottom line suffers unnecessarily.

AxonPulse helps by actively monitoring your bandwidth and guest experience from every point in the network to ensure they are having the optimum experience. From the tech lounge to the guests rooms, monitor and actively test the connections with the AxonPulse platform.

Retail

Customer experience and point of sale are two fundamental pieces of your retail business. If one portion fails, it affects sales and reputation.

With AxonPulse, take control of your wireless and fixed line connections. This platform allows you to not only monitor but also drive simulated traffic connections to help you gain visibility in what potential issues may arise before they happen.

Use this active monitoring solution to ensure your customers are getting the quality they expect as well as your teams behind the register. Its like having a virtual customer at every location.

How it Works:

Your AxonCore becomes the test hub for your business. From here, you can initiate any of the multitude of tests provided within the AxonPulse platform or, coupled with the new AxonPoint devices, initiate tests and manage your wireless network.

AxonCore

AxonPoint devices are like virtual users on your network. You can install them on-site and schedule them to automatically measure KPIs including speed, signal strength and the performance of your business applications or popular apps such as YouTube and Facebook.

AxonPoint

The AxonPulse platform also has a smart phone based capability that allows you to test and see results on-demand or use a monitoring probe that reports back over the air. This makes testing and monitoring easy for field techs to troubleshoot, test coverage, and ensure new systems are online and performing to specifications.

AxonPulse

Alerts and Test results are seen immediately through your Axon device or viewed anywhere, anytime via the on-line AxonCloud Control analytics dashboard. You can then access the AxonPoints and 'Test on Demand' for troubleshooting and further investigation.

AxonPulse

All these tools combined give you an unprecedented understanding of your network's real world performance.
