Boingo Drives the Next Generation Hotspot Revolution
The winds of change are blowing through the mobile industry. Next Generation Hotspot (NGH)
promises to deliver an entirely new era of seamless Wi-Fi connectivity, which stands to benefit users and providers alike.
However, as with any significant leap forward in technology, there have to be instigators; those
who are willing to act as catalysts, performing yeoman’s work in the hope of pushing the
industry forward and collectively achieving something truly brilliant.
In the case of NGH, one of the catalysts for change is Boingo Wireless.
IPv6 for Carrier Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi Operator Guidelines
IPv6 is deemed a solution to multiple issues in a large scale Wi-Fi deployment. IPv6 use cases including infrastructure and user devices to be included in NGH and Passpoint future trials as well as Device Compatibility Program in WBA. An operator survey on IPv6 Usage in Wi-Fi Network has been conducted among WBA’s operator members. These guidelines explore the use cases and deployment considerations for IPv6 in carrier Wi-Fi network.
Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) – based Integrated Small Cell Wi-Fi (ISW) Networks White Paper
This whitepaper represents the first deliverable from the collaboration between the Wireless Broadband
Alliance (WBA) and Small Cell Forum (SCF) towards exploring the benefits, opportunities and challenges of
the adoption of integrated networks based on Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) Wi-Fi and Small Cells
technologies and standards. As a result, both organizations intend to put in place a common roadmap of joint
activities to accelerate the industry adoption of this crucial technological evolution.
Carrier Wi-Fi Guidelines
Carrier Wi-Fi is seen by operators as an important step forward to improve the user experience of customers, in particular because Wi-Fi is increasingly being used to deliver new services, and also for its role in cellular offload.
What Wi-Fi Offload Don’t Reveal
Greenpacket White Paper ‘What Wi-Fi Offload Don’t Reveal’ includes sections on ‘3 steps to Wi-Fi Offload’, ‘Is it Enough to Wi-Fi Everywhere?’ and ‘Discover secrets of Wi-Fi Offload’.
Seamless Session Transfer White Paper
Seamless session transfer within Wi-Fi networks and between Wi-Fi and cellular networks has been a tantalising vision for many years. There has been a substantial amount of work taking place to fulfil this goal within the mobile industry. However, significant changes in the Wi-Fi and cellular industries are now driving the need to make this possible.
Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) Security White Paper
This white paper describes the security features involved in NGH network deployments and its advantages. In addition, the paper will explore advanced security solutions that service providers can implement to enhance end-user security.
