Revolutionizing Wi-Fi Management: How MarketApps Enhances Connectivity and User Experience

By Morgan Kurk

A network’s power is magnified with control and insights. At Cambium Networks our cnMaestro™ management platform integrates all network elements to provide an end-to-end solution. Years of collaboration with, and a deep understanding of, our customers have forged a solution that optimizes the network, informs the operator, and reduces operational costs while improving end user experience.

The most recent innovation added to cnMaestro is MarketApps. The first Apps to launch were created in close collaboration with several Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) network operators, addressing onboarding.

What are MarketApps?

MarketApps is built as a microservices-based, browser-driven, universal desktop and phone app running within cnMaestro. MarketApps are vertical-specific plug-and-play applications which:

  • Provide simple interface for non-technical users specific to their use case
  • Eliminate the cost of deploying third-party solutions or custom development
  • Are fully integrated as part of the Cambium ONE Network solution

Simplifying Resident Network Access for MDU

One of the key challenges in the MDU environment has been providing easy network access to tenants. As tenants move in and out, managing individual ePSKs quickly and effectively becomes challenging.

Most MDU service providers have chosen to rely on third-party tools or custom-built software—adding cost and complexity. With Cambium, there is a better way.

Two MarketApps for MDU:

  1. Managed Wi-Fi App enables property managers to easily manage unit-specific access and community SSID from a non-technical user-friendly interface.
  2. Self-Service Personal Wi-Fi App puts control in the hands of residents, allowing them to scan a QR code, and instantly set up their own secure Wi-Fi network.

And because MarketApps are included as part of cnMaestro X, customers can reduce their costs and simplify their procedures, while creating a premium Wi-Fi experience that keeps residents happy and connected.

Looking Ahead: The Future of MarketApps

While the first MarketApps are focused on solving MDU challenges, this is just the beginning. MarketApps will be expanded into new verticals to help our customers unlock greater value from the Cambium ONE Network. The goal is to simplify operations, reduce costs, and enhance user experiences across each unique vertical focusing on the network owner, the network manager, and the end user. If you need a MarketApp tailored to your specific vertical—one that can transform the way your network runs—let’s talk!
