By 2020, 24 billion devices
will be connected to the
Internet, more than 3 times
the world’s population.
71% of all mobile
communication
flows over Wi-Fi.
Wireless data usage will rise
from 1.5 exabytes in 2013
to 18 exabytes in 2019.
Providers need to be prepared for “carrier grade” Wi-Fi integration.
Growth
A proliferation in the availability of new connected
devices and a shift in consumer behavior, plus the
growth of M2M, are all causing a huge demand on
networks and Wi-Fi.
Strategic platform
Wi-Fi is evolving into an important
strategic platform for mobile and
fixed-line carriers, cable, MNOs
(Mobile Network Operators).
Not just the traditional
“pure-play” Wi-Fi operators.
of people cite Wi-Fi as the
most important amenity.
Locations are driving the
adoption of Wi-Fi hotspots,
large venues such as
universities, stadiums,
malls and connectivity
on board transportation.
Internet
of Things
The integrated platform,
“Internet of Things”
will further explode
the demand on Wi-Fi.
Connectivity
Consumers expect on-demand access
to data connectivity anywhere, anytime.
The Challenges
The demand for Wi-Fi is growing at an exponential rate. The fundamental driver is the ever-rising
consumption of data driven by an increasing user load and scale. In addition, fast changing
technology and spectrum congestion are creating changes in our wireless platforms and systems.
The Reality
Key features:
• 1.6M clients and 300K APs per Server
• Client roaming Wi-Fi to cellular
• Full mobility authentication / security such as
EAP-SIM and EAP-TTLS and Hotspot 2.0
• Wi-Fi Offloading E2E Feature set including
UE Emulation
• Full Wi-Fi Offload Topology Support with stateful
802.11ac clients
• Full L3-L7 Enhanced User Plane Support
• Test and Emulate 2G/3G/4G and CDMA Mobile
Networks, IMS, VoLTE, Diameter

Security / BYOD
A Wi-Fi attack on an open
network can take less than
With over 75% of new devices supporting
EAP-SIM natively and complying with the
3GPP specification for trusted access of
SIM-based devices to non-3GPP networks,
we need to protect against new security threats.
60%
Wi-Fi dominance
of carrier network traffic
will be offloaded to
Wi-Fi by 2017.
Wi-Fi has become the
medium of choice.
Carriers are utilizing
Wi-Fi technology to
provide capacity not
available on cellular.
