AppLogic Networks today announced the results of a live trial deployment at JANOG57 in Osaka, where the JANOG Network Operations Center (“NOC”) team used AppLogic Networks data for real-time monitoring, troubleshooting, and experience reporting during the event. The trial showcased an Elevated Observability approach that goes beyond traditional monitoring by adding B.E.S.T. insights (Behavior, Experience, Sentiment, and Trends) that help teams make faster decisions, reduce guesswork, and support new services in high-demand environments.

Hosted by SAKURA internet Inc., JANOG57 is one of Japan’s largest operator conferences that brings together thousands of attendees, dozens of sessions, and more than 100 booths. AppLogic Networks participated as an infrastructure supplier, supporting the NOC team alongside other technology vendors.

AI-driven experience scoring powered by AppLogic Networks data

During the event, the NOC team streamed AppLogic Networks data into Grafana and quickly built dashboards with a one-minute interval refresh rate they could use live.

A standout capability was AI-driven App QoE scoring, a sentiment-style scoring system derived from AppLogic Networks’ B.E.S.T. insights that enabled the NOC to view Quality of Experience by access point, room, and floor location.

“We were impressed with how quickly we could stand up live dashboards and focus on the areas that needed attention,” said Yota Egusa, Executive Officer, CIO and CISO, SAKURA internet Inc. “AppLogic Networks’ App QoE at the access point level gave the NOC real-time visibility into end-user experience without waiting for user reports, and it helped us make faster, more confident decisions, including where to deploy standby access points. We also used AppLogic Networks’ AI co-pilot solution (AI AppAnalyst) to generate on-demand queries from natural language questions, which made the data far more practical in the moment than static reports.”

Real-world operational wins during the event

The trial supported practical NOC workflows under live conditions, including:

• Faster DNS troubleshooting: When one DNS server stopped responding, the NOC could see inbound queries without outbound responses in live views, helping confirm the issue quickly.
• IPv4 and IPv6 clarity: With IPv4 assigned by DHCP and IPv6 assigned by RA, the NOC monitored v4 and v6 traffic volume separately to understand differences in behavior and experience.
• IPv6 load-balance validation: The team compared router traffic volumes to verify whether router to router IPv6 traffic distribution was working as intended.
• Security and policy-driven insight: The team monitored network activity for anomalous behavior potentially associated with malware and confirmed that no such malicious activity was observed during the event.
• Easy to integrate into existing tools: The team streamed AppLogic Networks data into Grafana and used it alongside existing Wi-Fi and operational tools, without requiring any system replacement. By integrating client-to-AP association data obtained via the Juniper Mist API, the team was able to analyze App QoE on a per-access-point basis with greater contextual accuracy.

Why this matters: Do more and create premium services

At a large-scale, community-driven event, the objective goes beyond simply maintaining network uptime. For the NOC team, it is about creating a stable and seamless connectivity experience that allows all participants to engage comfortably without being conscious of the underlying network. At the same time, it is also about ensuring that each NOC member leaves the event with a genuine sense of accomplishment, having strengthened their own skills, confidence, and professional growth through operational experience.

When QoE can be measured and visualized by location, the NOC team can better understand how participants are experiencing the network in real time. This shared visibility fosters collaboration, supports timely operational decisions, and helps the team maintain a smooth and comfortable environment for everyone involved.

“We’re grateful to the teams at JANOG57 for their collaboration and technical partnership throughout the trial,” said Samir Marwaha, Chief Strategy Officer at AppLogic Networks. “JANOG57 reinforced that when network performance is expressed in experience terms, grounded in location and application context, teams gain clearer operational insight and can respond more effectively in real time. In commercial environments, this same approach can also support differentiated, experience-based services.”

SES, a leading space solutions company, along with IoT technology provider Advannotech and additional service providers are collaborating to bring technology to South Africa’s next generation of farmers.

The project would enable young farmers to get a feel for data-driven agribusiness while participating in the Enterprising Africa Regional Network (EARN), a hands-on program combining practical farming, business skills and innovation for success.

The program aims to leverage technology to tackle food insecurity and economic growth through a climate-smart training farm in Centurion, South Africa and has successfully completed a three-month proof-of-concept trial.

Using IoT over satellite and LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) sensors, the project monitors soil moisture and temperature, water levels, and environmental factors such as light, CO₂, humidity and air temperature. Connected through SES satellites to a cloud-based backend, this system bypasses cellular networks to deliver consistent, real-time data even in remote locations.

“Before these IoT devices were put in the field, everything was guesswork,” said Joshua Ngoma, Founder & Chief Enabler of Enterprising Africa Regional Network (Pty) Ltd (EARN), the holding company of African Greeneurs, EARN’s youth agribusiness training subsidiary. “We used to water three times a day. But with the information you get on your phone or computer, you know exactly when to water. That saves power and conserves water, a very limited resource.”

In the past, the farm faced tech challenges due to inconsistent cellular connectivity, hindering effective monitoring of growing conditions, water management and timely response to climate shifts. But satellite connectivity has been a gamechanger. Now sensors provide alerts when conditions fall outside optimal ranges, enabling immediate action.

“Through this project we have demonstrated that satellite-enabled IoT in agriculture will assist farmers in making data-driven decisions for higher yields and sustainability, irrespective of location,” said Hans Geldenhuys, Director, Africa, SES.

Mountain Shadows Resort, Wayanad, an exclusive five-star luxury resort in Wayanad, Kerala, today announced its formal positioning as India’s most exclusive wilderness wedding destination, placing Kerala firmly on the global destination wedding map. Set on a rare peninsula where dense forests embrace a shimmering water body, the resort offers a dramatic natural stage for couples seeking intimate, high-luxury weddings surrounded by nature.​

A rare landscape reimagining destination weddings

Reached through winding, mist-laden forest roads, Mountain Shadows opens into a secluded world that feels untouched yet impeccably designed for celebration. Described by guests as “Incredible India reimagined as the Maldives,” the resort combines panoramic lake views, rolling hills and thick greenery to create an immersive setting where luxury meets wilderness and silence meets celebration.​

Known as a land of first love and first kisses, Mountain Shadows Resort, Wayanad, has rapidly evolved into one of South Asia’s most coveted wedding locations. Vows are exchanged with hills as witnesses, receptions unfold by the water, and every frame—from sunrise rituals to starlit dinners—feels cinematic and timeless.​

Architecture crafted as a once-in-a-lifetime tribute

Envisioned by master architects, Mountain Shadows was designed as a one-of-a-kind expression rather than a template that can be replicated. Much like a timeless monument built as an ode to love, the resort’s structures follow the natural contours of the land, allowing architecture and landscape to merge seamlessly.​

Private pool villas and elegant cottages open directly towards the vast lake and forest, offering uninterrupted views and absolute privacy. Expansive decks, glass-fronted facades, and carefully framed vistas enable key wedding moments—such as pheras at sunrise or cocktail evenings at sunset—to be staged against dramatic natural backdrops without heavy artificial décor.​

Where nature becomes the host

At Mountain Shadows, nature is not a backdrop but the primary host of every wedding. The resort’s

• Lake-facing lawns are ideal for open-air ceremonies, mandaps and receptions.

• Infinity pool decks provide panoramic stages for sangeet, cocktails and pre-wedding shoots.

• Intimate indoor venues support rituals, after-parties or weather-safe functions without losing the connection to the outdoors.​

Wildlife moves in its natural rhythm in the surrounding forests, and the occasional sight of tribal life along narrow paths offers a subtle reminder that this land breathes history, culture and deep-rooted emotion. This organic context gives each celebration a sense of authenticity that traditional urban ballrooms cannot replicate.​

Designed for exclusive, emotion-led weddings

Mountain Shadows focuses on a limited number of curated weddings, ensuring exclusivity and high-touch execution for each celebration. The resort is particularly suited for premium and celebrity weddings, multi-day destination events and cross-cultural ceremonies requiring privacy, security and customized planning.​

Signature elements include:

• Tailor-made wedding concepts aligned with each couple’s story, culture and aesthetic.

• Multi-day celebration design covering haldi, mehendi, sangeet, vows, reception and farewell brunches.

• Bespoke menus that blend world cuisine with authentic Kerala and regional flavours, along with tribal-inspired dishes for experiential dining.

• Integrated wellness and beauty programs featuring Ayurvedic spa treatments and nature-led therapies for pre- and post-wedding rejuvenation.

• Curated guest experiences such as forest walks, boating, stargazing, cultural performances and photography trails.​

Luxury that quietly serves emotion

The resort’s service philosophy is built on the idea that while love is an emotion, it is the place and people that glorify it. To that end, the Mountain Shadows team is trained not only in five-star hospitality standards but also in emotional intelligence around weddings—providing luxurious facilities, understanding family dynamics, cultural nuances and the significance of each ritual.

The operations team works discreetly behind the scenes to ensure seamless logistics, from elderly guest comfort and accessibility to synchronized vendor coordination, precise timing of entries and surprises, and end-to-end support for planners. This emotion-led service model has made the property a preferred choice for high-net-worth and celebrity clients arriving by helicopter or seeking fully private buyouts.​

Strengthening Kerala’s position on the global wedding map

With its unique combination of five-star infrastructure, untouched landscape and curated privacy, Mountain Shadows enhances Kerala’s positioning as a serious contender in the global luxury wedding destination segment. It offers an alternative to crowded beach and city venues, appealing especially to couples who want a sophisticated, nature-rich celebration without leaving India.​

Destination wedding planners, luxury travel specialists and experiential event designers are already recognising the resort as a flagship venue for premium South Asian weddings, diaspora celebrations and celebrity unions looking for a balance of discretion, design and drama.​
