Why do Carriers Need Wi-Fi?
iPhones made the Internet Mobile
FaceTime only works on Wi-Fi
iCloud only works on Wi-Fi
Cellular Carriers Need Wi-Fi
End User Experience
To ensure cellular network performs
To lower the cost / bit
To generate new revenue from new
apps
To support iPhone apps which do
not work on cellular (iCloud,
FaceTime, some AppStore
downloads)
Cable Operators Need Wi-Fi
To deliver broadband to their
customers
when they are not at home or work

The World of Wi-Fi
Enterprise WLAN systems were designed.
Before the iPhone or iPad, or Android, with no notion of offload
Before AT&T network was congested
Prior to Groupon and clueless on advertizing
Before Facebook and oblivious on social networking
Before Netflix and Hulu
Even Before YouTube (and that was a while ago)

Before The Cloud
The World has changed. Carriers are moving into Wi-Fi
But the Enterprise Class WLAN has not changed.
BelAir Networks has designed a solution for cellular carriers based on
Current Cellular Carrier needs

Where is Wi-Fi Needed?
1. At Home
Apple and Service Providers compete for the in-home
distribution
2. In Venues/Enterprises with few visitors
VAR business. Service Providers will come later
3. In Venues/Enterprises/SMBs with large proportion of
visitors
Huge Priority now
4. In Outdoor areas where there is poor mobile
coverage or capacity
Huge Priority Now

Priority Areas for Service Providers Now
Stadiums
Special Events
Downtown and
High User Concentration
Areas
SMBs
Restaurants
Commuting
Education
Institutions
Hospitals and
Doctor Offices
Shopping (Retail)
Hotels, Airports or
Convention Centers
Areas of high VISITOR concentration Indoor and Outdoor
Vision of the Converged Mobile Network
Wi-Fi and Small Cells are two sides of the same solution: massive mobile
capacity increase at lower cost / bit
Both are here to stay and will coexist in the next gen mobile network
Integration of Wi-Fi with picos and with DAS
Harmonized solution
Seamless network entry
Consistent and Common
Authentication
Policy Management
Use cases requiring capacity (i.e. hotels, stadiums, hot zones)
Smart and secured at the Edge
Consistent Management tools
HotSpot 2.0
Two grades of Mobility
Short term no session mobility
Long term session mobility an option coexisting with the no session mobility
method

WE HAVE DEFINED AND
IMPLEMENTED THE WI-FI SOLUTION
FOR CARRIERS!

BELAIR NETWORKS = CARRIER WI-FI

WE DID NOT REPLICATE
