WiFi Offloading made easy (and secure)

A carrier or MVNO watching data demand climb faster than spectrum has two expensive options: buy more capacity, or move traffic off the cellular network. Offloading to Wi-Fi is the cheaper answer, but handing a subscriber between cellular and Wi-Fi normally breaks whatever they were doing.

Speedify is software that bonds cellular and Wi-Fi together rather than switching between them, so traffic can move onto Wi-Fi without the subscriber noticing a handover at all.

Read on to see what Wi-Fi offloading is, and how bonding makes it work without dropping sessions.

What is WiFi Offloading?

WiFi offloading is the idea that data should travel over (cheaper) wifi instead of cellular networks whenever practical. Offloading the data onto Wi-Fi networks frees up mobile bandwidth and allows carriers to take better advantage of existing wired telecom infrastructure.

Some of the primary obstacles are:

• 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

Speedify addresses all of these with seamless channel bonding technology.

How Does Speedify Change the Game?

For MVNOs, the benefits of Speedify are twofold – moving more traffic off of LTE and onto Wi-Fi results in bigger savings as well as a better internet experience for customers.

The Speedify technology 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. Speedify 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.
