Wi-Fi in a Mobile Broadband Eco-System
Wi-Fi, once considered a threat to mobile operators, today becoming an ever growing part of the mobile broadband solution.
Wi-Fi is used by consumers to access the Internet, favorite applications and even for communications between person-to-person.
However, Wi-Fi is based on unlicensed spectrum. That means that neither the user not the operator cannot be sure about what to expect from the Wi-Fi connection in terms of performance and quality.
Leading service providers are looking for a solution to leverage Wi-Fi with a Win-Win proposition – lowering their cost of delivering mobile broadband by offloading data heavy applications to fixed networks using Wi-Fi, while lowering the prices for their users and improving the quality of services rendered over Wi-Fi.
