Carrier Wi-Fi Services
Security & Privacy over Wireless Networks
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project information
With the convergence of heterogeneous networks to maximize service offering and flexibility to the users, the ecosystem players need to develop, interoperate and deploy proper security for various the network technologies, device types and services required by
the operators.
As the Wi-Fi roaming business grows more and more accounting traffic is generated and therefore, roaming fraud management mechanism arise as a priority.
Moreover, privacy aspects are becoming pivotal in several regions throughout the world, a common industry approach intends to remove barriers when using Wi-Fi networks.
