Why Wi-Fi offload and roaming are key to meeting growing data demands
Data traffic demand is growing rapidly in the wake of operator strategies to encourage mobile broadband adoption. As a result, the industry is talking about offload as a solution but one which takes many forms, leaving many operators unsure of which path to take. The business case for Wi-Fi is evolving, and not just for data offload but also voice and messaging, offering an opportunity for the deeper integration of Wi-Fi with the operator’s service portfolio.
Wi-Fi New Service Models for Next Generation Networks
Wi-Fi had its beginnings as a “good to have” technology, whereby its value were undermined by its range and found its place in niche markets. The evolution of Wi-Fi from its role of connectivity to “Wi-Fi as a service” has come a long way. Throughput speeds have leap-frog from 2Mbps to 11Mbps and now at an astounding rate of up to 150Mbps.
Wi-Fi for a Connected World Towards Next Generation Networks
The next generation networks that we envision to be would be unimaginable with multitude of new generation of services, connected devices value chain and emerging embedded systems like telematics and automation gaining momentum in vertical industries.
The Future of Hotspots: Making Wi-Fi as Secure and Easy to Use as Cellular
According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, about 200 million households use Wi-Fi networks and there are about 750,000 Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide. Wi-Fi is used by over 700 million people and there are about 800 million new Wi-Fi devices every year. Cisco has shipped over 10 million access points to customers worldwide.
