7SIGNAL Awarded Third Patent for Mobile Eye by USPTO

The patent addresses the problem to provide full visibility into wireless network service quality. Gartner has predicted that the average expense of network downtime is about $5,600 per minute.

Cleveland, OH – 7SIGNAL^®, the leader in enterprise Wireless Network Monitoring (WNM), has been issued US patent number 10,542,446 for using “mobile devices to measure wireless network performance” that leverage the computing technology behind the company’s Mobile Eye^TM module.

Fast, reliable Wi-Fi is no longer an option in our super-connected world, and wireless network monitoring that ensures this connectivity directly impacts enterprise ROI. A consistent connection enables businesses to operate efficiently, leaving no room for downtime and missed profits.

The patent addresses the problem to provide full visibility into wireless service quality. Gartner has predicted that the average expense of network downtime is about $5,600 per minute. And an IDC survey revealed that network failure can cost large enterprises $100,000 per hour, and critical application failure can run from $500,000 to $1 million per hour. On an annual basis, the average total cost of downtime is $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion for the Fortune 1000.
