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.”

Roaming Hubs for CDMA: Rapid Roaming Expansion Made Possible - white paper
01 September 2010
International roaming began as a GSM-only service. As CDMA networks expand beyond North America, however, the number of CDMA subscribers traveling internationally is rapidly increasing.
An estimated 13% of global mobile subscribers used roaming services in 2008 and projected to reach 600 million roamers globally by 2013. Africa and the Middle East will grow fastest, with the number of roamers doubling each year between 2008 and 2013.
At the time of this writing, there are more than 250 CDMA mobile operators in 84 countries, serving 500 million subscribers, half of which reside in emerging markets (Latin America, Africa/Middle East, and Asia). CDMA subscriber growth continues rapidly: subscriber counts are projected to reach nearly 700 million by 2013.
