Carriers and MVNOs have known about a looming crisis for years. As mobile devices have become more powerful and sophisticated they have also become more popular resulting in overwhelming demand for higher bandwidth. It is imperative now that network operators employ strategies to reduce the load on their core cellular networks by leveraging existing investments in wired and wifi infrastructure.

Up until this point however, it has been impossible for network operators to utilize mobile data offloading tactics without negatively affecting the customer experience. Some of the obstacles include:

• iOS and Android devices are unable to tell when a hotspot is “dead” or not functioning properly
• Manually switching between networks is time consuming and cumbersome
• Consumers end up with interrupted internet access during network changeovers
• Consumer concern about hotspot security

The Speedify link aggregation solution helps network operators and hardware manufacturers make use of Speedify’s revolutionary channel bonding technology to seamlessly switch between Internet connections providing increased QoE while reducing LTE usage.

Speedify is a complete solution to channel bonding and Wi-Fi offloading issues on mobile devices. It can be built into existing iOS, Android, Windows, and MacOS software and runs in the background monitoring and improving network performance for all the apps on the device. The Speedify channel bonding technology is cost aware and uses policy based routing that can be configured for increased speed or reduced cellular usage. Optional VPN encryption means that Speedify can also keep users secure across public Wi-Fi networks.

Currently, when a consumer connects to a dead hotspot, the device does not automatically fall back to using LTE. Instead, the consumer is stranded without any internet connection. This creates a poor user experience and discourages future use of hotspots. Speedify eliminates this problem.
