  • Patent number: 11055676
    Abstract: An access point switches between an access point mode and a cryptomining mode. In the access point mode, the access point provides network access for end stations using a BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) while in the access point mode. In surveillance mode, the access point activates a mining co-processor and collectively works on problems coordinated by a stratum mining server. Artificial intelligence can be used to determine which access points to switch modes and for how long.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140044005
    Abstract: A system for conducting wireless site surveys of a wireless environment is provided. A wireless interface controller controls a wireless interface during a scan of a wireless frequency band. A user interface module receives a set of wireless network design criteria, and a measurement module obtains a set of wireless signal information based on a set of wireless signals received during the scan of the wireless frequency band. An analysis module compares the set of wireless signal information to the set of wireless network design criteria and automatically determines whether the set of wireless network design criteria is, at least in part, satisfied. The user interface module provides an indicator that indicates whether the set of wireless network design criteria is, at least in part, satisfied.
