The rapid expansion of home networks can present many issues for Communications Service Providers (CSPs) who must deliver flawless subscriber experiences to an ever-growing number of devices. Following an analysis of our data, we can reveal that Plume households are adding significantly more connected devices—in April 2021, 50% of homes had 19 devices or more (up 27% year-over-year), while the top 10% of homes exceeded 41 devices (up 24% year-over-year). The high device count and high growth rate means that sophisticated cloud-based WiFi management and the higher-capacity features of WiFi 6 are a necessity.
