Edge AI gets talked about as a speed story. Faster inference. Lower latency. Decisions made closer to the device. That part is real. But for an ISP, the harder question is what the AI is actually grounded in. Speed without context is just guessing faster. And guessing faster still means truck rolls, support calls and churn. That shows up directly on the P&L. Our CPO Alan Coleman is on stage at Connectivity Standards Alliance, Unify 2026 in Austin today alongside leaders from Qualcomm, Silicon Labs and Liquid AI, getting into exactly this. How AI and IoT converge at the network edge. How you build systems that don't just see what's happening in a home, but act on it before a subscriber picks up the phone. Plume runs across nearly half a billion connected devices worldwide. That telemetry isn't just visibility, it's what lets ISPs get ahead of problems instead of reacting to them. #Unify2026 #ConnectivityStandardsAlliance #EdgeAI #managedwifi #connectedhome
