Enterprise Moving to the Cloud

• Enterprise Verticals looking at Cloud Based WLAN Networking

– Retail

– Government

– Branch Offices

– Hospitality

Virtual Centralized Management

Automatic distribution of Security policies

Reduces Capex and Opex


7

WiFi Advantages for the Carrier

+90 percent of mobile data usage occurs in a non-mobile environment

Offloading can reduce OPEX by up to 50 percent

Up to 65 percent of mobile data traffic can be offloaded to WiFi

Offloading data from 3G to WiFi delivers 70-percent savings per byte
