Liberty Latin America taps Plume for WOWfi

Liberty Latin America has tapped WiFi technology specialist Plume to launch the new WOWfi powered by Plume HomePass service to consumers in Puerto Rico.

The launch includes the deployment of Plume’s SaaS Experience Platform, including its HomePass Smart Home Services suite and Haystack support and operations suite, which leverages the OpenSync open-source silicon-to-cloud framework.

Plume said the partnership represents a major deployment of its services in the Latin American region, building on its global footprint of over 350 service provider customers and more than 43 million locations.

Liberty Puerto Rico’s broadband subscribers will have access to Plume’s cloud services, including adaptive WiFi, cybersecurity, presence detection, and user controls, delivered through the HomePass app.

The collaboration includes the adoption and integration of OpenSync into Liberty Puerto Rico’s gateways provided by Adtran, CommScope, and Sercomm.

“Plume’s highly scalable offerings are proven throughout the world and have become the global standard for leading service providers,” said Naji Khoury, General Manager, Liberty Communications of Puerto Rico (“Liberty Puerto Rico”). “This partnership is a core pillar of our goal to deliver the most sophisticated and comprehensive services throughout Puerto Rico while delighting our subscribers with the ultimate performance, choice, and superior support.”

“For the first time at scale, broadband subscribers in Puerto Rico will have access to unparalleled choice and flexibility. This partnership in Puerto Rico with LLA fuels our global expansion, where service providers must have access to the latest cloud- and AI-driven technologies to deliver new digital experiences at the highest quality and scale,” said Plume’s regional VP of sales in Latin America, Esteban Arias.
