Greenpacket Steps Forward to Enhance Network Experience

Today, a leading developer of next generation mobile broadband and networking solutions, Greenpacket, by injecting Wi-Fi QoS features in its portfolio of Carrier Wi-Fi Experience Management and Mobile Data Offload solutions, delivers another technological advancement in the delivery of heterogeneous network experience.

Improving the ability of devices to discover Wi-Fi networks, providing an effective means to mobile operators to prioritize and select the right Wi-Fi access point for attachment and in turn offering the best of Wi-Fi experience to subscribers are some of the objectives of Wi-Fi QoS. Operators are aware of the importance of integrating Wi-Fi as part of its cellular and/or fixed network as a compliment due to the proliferation of Wi-Fi enabled devices and the vast availability of Wi-Fi networks.

Operators should recognize that Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism in Wi-Fi is a much lauded basic requirement when keeping up with the pace of subscriber’s bandwidth need and application usage variety. The Wi-Fi QoS feature works as a client-based checker that aggregates, measures and monitors the subscriber device and Wi-Fi network status in assisting to switch between 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi.

To avoid latency and jitter which can affect service quality, a robust QoS implementation is necessary to gain visibility of the Wi-Fi link in order to provide carrier-grade service. In both the North American and European market, Greenpacket is actively engaging major carriers for its QoS products and is seeing increased interest in Asia Pacific.

Either to enhance network offerings or for data offloading to ease 3G congestion, a clear trend is emerging in which Wi-Fi dominates as the convergent technology of choice for cellular operators.

“Data offloading is not just simply moving subscribers from 3G to Wi-Fi. Our solution’s QoS capability ensures user experience is maintained before and after offload,” said Kelvin Lee, Senior General Manager of Greenpacket.
