How AVXpress Solves Your AV Communication Challenges in Seconds

• Today’s digital environments demand uninterrupted service for critical applications like voice, video conferencing, online gaming, and multimedia streaming. Common obstacles include:

Challenge

Wi-Fi and LAN Congestion:

• High connectivity and data activities lead to network slowdowns, impacting essential services.

VLAN Limitation:

• In environments with diverse applications, VLANs often struggle to ensure priority for critical, time-sensitive traffic such as video calls.

Solution

• AVXpress uses advanced application-aware traffic management to optimize data flow across Wi-Fi and
• LAN networks while enhancing VLAN performance with dynamic traffic shaping. Prioritizing network traffic based on application needs ensures that critical, time-sensitive traffic, like video calls, operates efficiently, even in complex environments and under high connectivity loads.

Challenges in Identifying Traffic Types:

• Effective prioritization is hindered by the inconsistent application of Wired Priority and operating system constraints that can overwrite or ignore these settings.

Solution

• AVXpress leverages Layer 7 awareness and deep packet inspection to accurately identify and classify network traffic, enhancing prioritization for a smoother network experience.
• It dynamically assigns priorities in real-time, mapping specific traffic types to their corresponding applications, effectively managing traffic types and resolving inconsistencies, ensuring reliable traffic prioritization.

Complex Configuration Interfaces:

• Existing solutions often feature intricate and non-intuitive configuration settings, creating significant barriers, especially for users without advanced technical knowledge.
• AVXpress simplifies network setup with a one-click mechanism that instantly prioritizes high-demand
• AV applications such as voice communication, video conferencing, streaming, and gaming. Our interface streamlines application prioritization, making it effortless even for users without technical expertise.

Exploring More About the Core Technologies Behind AVXpress

Intelligent Application-Aware Traffic Optimization

Application Identification and Classification:

• AVXpress utilizes Layer 7 awareness and deep packet inspection to accurately identify and classify network traffic.
• This precise identification enhances traffic prioritization, ensuring a smoother and more reliable network experience.

Dynamic Traffic Priority Marking:

• The system dynamically assigns priorities in real time as it identifies various applications, effectively mapping specific traffic types to their corresponding applications.
• This approach addresses inconsistencies where time-sensitive applications are treated as general traffic due to system defaults.
• It ensures high-priority traffic is consistently recognized and managed, providing reliable prioritization for critical applications.

Consistent Data Prioritization Across Wired and Wireless

From Wireless to Wired:

Converts Wireless Priority from wireless devices to equivalent Wired Priority on the wired network, maintaining original priority settings.

From Wired to Wireless:

Maps Wired Priority from the wired network to appropriate Wireless Priority for wireless traffic, ensuring quality of service continues seamlessly across network transitions.

Instant Priority Boost for AV Applications with One Click

AVXpress features a one-click mechanism that instantly prioritizes traffic for key AV applications like voice communication, video conferencing, multimedia streaming, and online gaming.

Performance Test Result

AVXpress and its Improvement on Video Call Latency

• This test was to evaluate the effectiveness of AVXpress in reducing latency during video conferencing sessions.
• The goal was to ensure latency levels remained well below the industry-recommended threshold of 300 milliseconds to avoid any degradation in communication quality.

Without AVXpress:

• Prior to deploying AVXpress, video conferencing sessions typically experienced latency closer to or exceeding the 300ms threshold, which often led to reduced clarity and lag in communications.

With AVXpress:

• With AVXpress activated, the average latency was significantly reduced, consistently staying below 100 milliseconds.
• This improvement not only exceeds industry standards but also substantially enhances the stability and quality of video conferencing connections.
