Wireless communications components in accordance with various disclosed aspects may be configured to wirelessly allow voice and data to user devices. The wireless communications component may operate using conventional wireless technologies such as 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ah. Moreover, the wireless communications component may be configured to broadcast a plurality of network identifiers (e.g., Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs)) to the user devices using a network identifier module. In one example, the wireless communications component may radiate SSID on the basis of different channels, different VLANs, VRF, IP-pools and/or using different physical layer technologies. The wireless communications component may also receive data from the user devices and mechanisms used in common communication devices (e.g., wireless routers commonly used in residential networking and ONT for Residential and SOHO) for transmitting and receiving data.
The integrity and performance of the network, a wireless or wireline or HetNet or any other network, is, thus, critical to assure the quality of service. Thus, a user's demand for essentially 100% “uptime” of the network is considered to be the most efficient KPI of the service provider to provide such service to users. The term “uptime” references the period in which access to the network, and the components thereof, are available. The term “downtime”, also called a network outage, reference the time when the network is inaccessible to users. Although the elimination of all network outages is never a guarantee, managing the network infrastructure can assist in minimizing such outages and maximizing uptime.
