Nokia Siemens Networks is launching Smart Wi-Fi to seamlessly integrate wireless local area networks (WLAN) with cellular, mobile networks. Smart Wi-Fi comprises four elements that combine operator-controlled Wi-Fi and cellular services into a Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) with traffic steering capabilities.
"Nearly all smartphones and tablets have the ability to use Wi-Fi. Operators have a clear opportunity to use this mature, cost-effective technology to enhance the experience of mobile broadband, especially in underserved indoor public areas", said Randy Cox, head of Small Cell Product Management, Nokia Siemens Networks. "With our Smart Wi-Fi, mobile operators can integrate and control Wi-Fi networks to deliver a cellular-like experience on Wi-Fi as part of a broader HetNet".
The four elements of Nokia Siemens Networks Smart Wi-Fi are Smart Wi-Fi Connect, Smart Wi-Fi Converge, Smart Wi-Fi Optimize and Smart Wi-Fi Personalize.
Smart Wi-Fi Connect allows operators to plan and deploy their own Wi-Fi networks. The solution element includes high-performance access points and gateways for operators who are deploying their own Wi-Fi networks. In addition, the company provides the service capabilities to analyze, plan, deploy, integrate and optimize the operator's own or partner Wi-Fi networks.
