Today, Alvarion announced a new solution for Wi-Fi mobile data offloading in 3G and LTE networks that will enable a high level of service, fast connectivity, and secured Internet access. The company’s carrier-grade Wi-Fi, based on two-way Beamforming Wi-Fi technology, will provide an all-inclusive solution for the scalability, reliability, and security needs of operators with large-scale Wi-Fi networks for mobile data offloading and hot zones.
Operators can now benefit from increased network capacity and high traffic area coverage – where data congestion currently overloads 3G and LTE networks – thanks to Alvarion’s Mobile Data Offloading solution. The solution is Hot Spot and 802.11u ready, which permits a cellular-like experience via the Wi-Fi network with zero-configuration from the user. Operators can utilize the Wi-Fi network for more cost-effective user data connectivity – still providing the same level of service – and expand their network coverage and capacity, returning the original capacity to their 3G/LTE network.
Alvarion’s Mobile Data Offloading solution enables operators to increase network customer retention, minimize churn, and improve customer satisfaction. By using a carrier-grade Wi-Fi solution, operators can gain insight into user behavior by seeing network users and their user information. They can resultantly begin offering revenue-generating services like location-based amenities and mobile advertising; they can also lease extra capacity to service providers.
With the growing abundance of Wi-Fi enabled smartphones, laptops, and tablets, it follows that the same operators should be able to implement a data offload solution that is cost-effective, easy to install, scalable, and utilizes the free unlicensed spectrum. Alvarion’s Wi-Fi technology, closely integrated with the mobile operators’ core network, allows more solutions to be offered to customers addressing their increasing capacity challenges. The idea of merging Wi-Fi and 3G/LTE networks as one network is becoming a reality.
Alvarion provides optimized wireless broadband solutions that address the challenges in connectivity, coverage and capacity experienced by public and private networks. The company’s state-of-the-art solutions are founded upon multiple technologies across both licensed and unlicensed spectrums.
