运营商

全世界的网络运营商都在以基于其独特需求而定制的业务模式部署Wi-Fi®。Wi-Fi的高性能和无处不在性为运营商创造了利用Wi-Fi改善住宅内外网络服务的机会。Wi-Fi正在用于改善覆盖范围、卸载数据流量、提高网络密度、在户外将付费内容送达消费者、提高忠诚度以及降低漫游费用。

Wi-Fi行业正在通过高超的创新水平满足广泛的需求。Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Vantage™Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Passpoint®表明,Wi-Fi在不断发展,以提升运营商网络,提供更高的性能、更好的移动性和用户体验。

Wi-Fi具备独特的特性和发展路线图,可为运营商和IT经理带来很多益处,例如更好的资源管理以及能够影响客户端在其网络中的漫游行为。不断引入增强功能的发展路线图已经成为扩大容量的强大工具,将确保Wi-Fi技术继续创造新的机会。

凭借运营商、设备制造商和消费电子产品制造商会员的大力支持,Wi-Fi Alliance®这一协作论坛非常适合承担一项重任,即提出满足运营商需求的技术创新。为了在运营商生态系统中确保一致性并提供最有价值的计划,Wi-Fi Alliance与CTIA™、GSM Association、Wireless Broadband Alliance、CableLabs®等其他运营商团体建立了联系并达成了相关协议。

Wi-Fi Device Metrics

作为Wi-Fi技术创新的领导者, Wi-Fi Alliance 开发了一个框架,为运营商提供了一个可以评估网络设备质量的测试工具。Wi-Fi Device Metrics促进了标准化的方法和统一的术语,帮助描述和评估Wi-Fi接入点(AP)和客户端设备,为一系列特定的部署场景提供描述和评估吞吐量、延迟和用户体验的指标。该框架中包含的最佳实践和定义使性能测量标准化,并简化设备评估。通过制定这个框架,IT经理和网络架构师可以更全面地评估接入点和客户端设备,以便区分出能够在目标应用过程中提供更好的客户体验的高性能设备。

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Passpoint bring to hospitality?

Hospitality chains may own many brands but a single consolidated rewards program. Without Passpoint, either the rewards program SSID needs to be added at every hotel or users’ phones must be configured with several SSIDs. Passpoint can function with a single profile that identifies the rewards program instead of a hotel SSID. When a user visits an associated property, their device will automatically identify the access point and connect.

Which Wi-Fi Vantage technologies help quickly connect to another AP or another network?

Wi-Fi Agile Multiband: Fast Basic Service Set (BSS) Transition, also known as Fast Transition, is based on IEEE 802.11r. Fast Transition enables devices to reauthenticate quickly with WPA2 security when roaming within the same Wi-Fi network, improving experience with latency sensitive applications such as voice over Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi Optimized Connectivity: Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS) Authentication is a mechanism defined in IEEE 802.11ai to enable fast authentication to APs.

Why should end users purchase Wi-Fi Vantage devices?

Devices that are certified for Wi-Fi Vantage represent the most recent and interoperable Wi-Fi technologies for managed networks. Users will experience fewer connection interruptions during calls or video streaming, even while traversing through a transportation hub like a large airport. These devices, when used in a Wi-Fi Vantage enabled network, bring a more seamless and consistent connection and therefore a better mobile experience.

What is a managed network?

Managed networks are Wi-Fi networks, such as those operated in airports, stadiums, schools, office buildings, retail and hotel locations and other venues, that are “managed” by network administrators to optimize their coverage, performance, and network access. These networks are frequently open to the public or offer access to subscribers.

What features are planned for Wi-Fi Vantage devices in future generations?

Future generations of Wi-Fi Vantage will add enhancements in network access, frequency band and channel management, and reduced connection times, resulting in improved roaming and management of Wi-Fi networks.

How does Passpoint support service provider branding and customer relationships?

Passpoint enabled mobile devices can choose networks based on a list of preferred (direct or partner) providers, specific services and/or the best performance characteristics. For service providers offering a managed experience, seamless authentication is a valuable element, and Passpoint networks also support deployments where a click-through screen is essential for acceptance of terms and conditions or branding.
