Next Generation Hotspot: Maintaining the Profitability of Mobile Data Services - white paper
19 July 2011
Executive Summary
To assist mobile operators to satisfy the exponential demand for mobile data services, the mobile industry has created a new program in the Wireless Broadband Alliance to offload a significant percentage of mobile data traffic - automatically, securely, and efficiently - via Wi-Fi hotspots and fixed backhaul. Wi-Fi has emerged as a valuable part of the Radio Access Network (RAN) of the mobile operator. Until now its use has been severely limited by the need for the subscriber to manually discover, select, and access each hotspot and the lack of operator visibility of mobile users who “Roam onto Wi-Fi.”
