Case Study: Fon achieves scalable, high-performance monitoring of 21M Wi‑Fi hotspots with Influxdata

Fon - Customer Case Study

Fon (Fon Wireless Ltd.) pioneered residential Wi‑Fi sharing with its community of “Foneros” and has grown into a global network of more than 21 million hotspots. As they scale aggregation of residential and public Wi‑Fi footprints and build a complete home Wi‑Fi solution, the DevOps team needed a way to collect, store and query massive amounts of time‑series operational data with high performance and simplicity.

They adopted InfluxDB, a high‑performance time‑series database with an easy-to-use query language, to power monitoring and analytics across their network. This solution gave Fon scalable, fast time‑series storage and querying, enabling quicker insights and more effective network management and interconnection as they continue to expand and refine their home Wi‑Fi offerings.
