Preseem Updates

• Access point shaping - After successful trials at different WISPs, Preseem now offers QoE optimized shaping to enforce access point bandwidth limits. Based on FQ-CoDel, AP shaping allows WISPs to optimize performance of congested APs and delay network investments. 

We also had a great run at this year's Wispapalooza. Our exclusive QoE-seminar on Monday, October 8 was packed to capacity and had some of our customers share their first-hand Preseem experience with other owners and operators. Our booth was super-hit too! We had meetings from the word go on Tuesday to late after the show floor was closed on Thursday.
