Wi-Fi Offloading with Gapless Aggregation: Carriers Use Speedify to Bond Cellular and Wi-Fi

Mobile Data Offloading from 4G to WiFi Done Easy

Wi-Fi offloading keeps coming back onto carrier roadmaps and keeps stalling in the same place. Subscribers on unlimited plans have no reason to switch to Wi-Fi themselves, and every automatic handover costs them a stalled download or a dropped call.

Speedify is software that bonds cellular and Wi-Fi into one connection, so offloading happens without a handover for the subscriber to notice – which removes the reason they resist it.

We cover why subscribers stopped offloading on their own, and what unlimited data plans do to a 4G network without it.

Consumers No Longer Have the Incentive to Offload on Their Own

Because of high data fees, consumers used to have the incentive to stay on Wi-Fi as much as possible. This desire to self-manage offloading led to an explosion of public Wi-Fi networks. This further reduced the need for carriers to worry about Wi-Fi offloading themselves.

However, stiff competition between carriers had lowered the price of data. This has led to some consumers having less incentive to self-manage their Wi-Fi offloading. This competition has also caused several major carriers to begin offering unlimited data plans.

These unlimited plans completely destroy any incentive for consumers to offload their data from mobile data to Wi-Fi on their own.

Widespread Unlimited Data Plans Will Crash Existing 4G Networks Without Offloading

Without an incentive to self-offload, carriers are once again faced with the problem of too much expensive data and too little bandwidth. As unlimited plans surge in popularity, carriers face a crisis. Without widespread offloading, existing 4G networks will crash under the load of all that data.

This data crisis is no longer some distant possibility, but an immediate threat. If customers, especially those on unlimited data plans, begin to have their user experience impacted by network errors and slow load times, carriers will be in for a customer revolt.

The New Wi-Fi Offloading is About Gapless Aggregation

The best way for carriers to handle Wi-Fi offloading is improve the customer experience by encouraging gapless aggregation. Speedify’s proprietary protocol makes gapless aggregation easy.

The app works in the background constantly managing the mobile device’s connection. It prioritizes using cheaper Wi-Fi networks whenever possible. But, it also keeps the device connected to a cell signal and a Wi-Fi signal at the same time so that if the Wi-Fi network fails or the customer moves out of range, the customer remains connected to the internet until another Wi-Fi network can be found and connected to.

Speedify gives customers constant, reliable access to fast internet service and helps carriers be handling Wi-Fi offloading automatically. The future of Wi-Fi offloading is now. Carriers don’t need to spend money on research and development. The Speedify protocol is not only the best offloading solution on the market; it is also the most affordable option for carriers and provides the best customer experience.
