Overview

This course is designed to give the delegate an understanding of the implementation and optimisation of WiFi and LTE interworking or WiFi offload. We investigate the requirements needed to support WiFi off load and the challenges raised.

The use of carrier class WiFi is now a necessity rather than a possibility. MNOs can save on CAPEX and reduce the need for expensive licensing mobile spectrum. The choice of own or partner with existing WiFi operators to offer seamless WiFi coverage. In either case with intelligent service provisioning MNOs profit from a range of services based on new business models.

We will investigate the technologies to support EAP-SIM enabled smartphones, traffic optimisation and traffic flows available in numerous network deployments.
