Abstract: Cloud services are provided by a distributed network including a number of geographically distributed datacenters, to client devices in accordance with data sovereignty requirements. A server within the distributed network may receive a service request and determine whether it complies with the data sovereignty requirements of the client. When the geographic location of the server does not comply with the client's data sovereignty requirements, the server may determine and transmit back to the client device a set of alternative datacenters within the distributed network that comply with the client's data sovereignty requirements. The client device may use network probes to select an alternative datacenter, and the cloud service request of the client device may be migrated from the server to the selected datacenter.

Abstract: Wireless infrastructure upgrading may be provided. An Access Point (AP) may be caused to decline new association requests received from client devices not associated with the AP. Next, the AP may be caused to instruct client devices associated with the AP that detect a signal level from the AP to be below their roaming margin to roam away from the AP. Then the power of the signal level from the AP may be decreased by a predetermined amount. Causing the AP to instruct client devices associated with the AP that detect the signal level from the AP to be below their roaming margin to roam away from the AP and decreasing the power of the signal level from the AP may be repeated until the power of the signal level from the AP is at a predetermined level.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process of evaluating any number of different identity providers (IDPs) and their respective set of credentials that are used to authenticate corresponding users to assist with the onboarding of the different IDPs in connection with Wi-Fi identity federations. In particular, the process allows a person's electronic identity and attributes (stored across one or more IDPs) to be determined once using a standard. Once trust has been established for the user, that trust can then be utilized across a number of different systems (e.g., Single-sign on). The same trust determination can be used without the need for the authenticity of the user identity to be re-evaluated with each new access request.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device determines one or more profiles of respective wireless network issues, each of the one or more profiles having a set of associated parameters. By monitoring wireless conditions in a particular wireless network, the computing device may then detect that the wireless conditions exhibit trigger conditions correlated to a particular set of associated parameters for a particular profile of a particular wireless network issue. In response to detecting that the wireless conditions exhibit trigger conditions, the computing device may then capture and store data regarding the wireless conditions, accordingly.

Abstract: Embodiments for selective optimized roaming include receiving an indication that a connected device is at a cell edge of a first network. When an alternate access point cannot provide an alternate connection for the connected device, connections to other networks are assessed. This assessment includes receiving radio frequency (RF) signals for a second network and determining, from received RF signals, that the second network provides a better network connection. When the second network can provide a better network connection the connection to the first network is terminated.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to manage a wireless local area network. A method includes defining a plurality of geographical zones corresponding to a geographical area that is serviced by a common service set identifier for a wireless local area network, assigning a pre-shared key to a mobile station based on the plurality of geographical zones, wherein the pre-shared key is associated with predetermined policies for a user of the mobile station, associating a media access control address of the mobile station with the pre-shared key, and controlling access of the mobile station to the wireless local area network based on the predetermined policies.

Abstract: Techniques for deploying data services in a centrally managed network in a scalable, hierarchical manner are described. An example method generally includes generating a topological description of the centrally managed network, the topological description identifying network entities in the centrally managed network and connections between network entities in the network. A data management hierarchy for the centrally managed network may be generated from the topological description of the centrally managed network, and the data management hierarchy may identify network entities at which data services may be deployed in the centrally managed network. Data services and data rules may be deployed to the identified network entities based on the data management hierarchy, and data may be processed in the centrally managed network through the deployed data services.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory service for a wireless network obtains frequency-time Doppler profile information for an endpoint node attached to a first access point in the wireless network. The supervisory service uses the frequency-time Doppler profile information for the endpoint node as input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained to output an action for the endpoint node with respect to the wireless network. The supervisory service causes the action for the endpoint node with respect to the wireless network to be performed.

Abstract: Coordinated radio fine time measurement is provided via sending, from a client device, a ranging request to a first radio; receiving a first response sent at a first time from the first radio over a first channel; receiving a second response sent at the first time from a second radio over a second channel; and calculating, based on times of flight for the first response and the second response, a location of the client device relative to the first radio and to the second radio. Coordinated radio fine time measurement is also proved via in response to receiving, at an Access Point (AP), a ranging request from a client device and determining to respond using multiple channels: sending, both at a first time, a first response from a first radio over a first channel a second response from a second radio over a different channel.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for identification and remediation of IoT devices exhibiting anomalous behaviors. An IoT management system can identify IoT devices requiring remediation. The IoT management system may present a first interface including representations of the devices requiring remediation, where each representation can include identifying information for an IoT device, policies applied to the IoT device, and bandwidth/throughput information of the IoT device. The IoT management system can present a second remediation interface representing a detailed representation of a first IoT device. The detailed representation can include user interface elements representing actions to be performed relating to the first IoT device. The IoT management system can perform a first action corresponding to a selection of one of the user interface elements.
