Service providers can capitalize on mobile traffic growth and alleviate network congestion by offloading data traffic from 3G to Wi-Fi. They can partner with Wi-Fi providers or use their existing Wi-Fi assets, to offer consumers access to competitive rates, creating new revenue opportunities.
By implementing multi-access networks today, service providers are preparing for their 4G future – with solutions that work across access technologies and balance network traffic efficiently.
There are certain challenges to Wi-Fi offloading and Amdocs can help service providers overcome these obstacles by:
- Ensuring a seamless user experience regardless of access network;
- Providing single sign on access for subscribers, reducing barriers to service use; and
- Leveraging existing data stored in the Home Location Register (HLR), thereby avoiding multiple data silos.
Amdocs' Mobile Data Offload solutions provide 3G service providers with carrier-grade authentication, authorization, accounting (AAA), and interworking support that ensures a transparent and secure single sign on experience for subscribers.
