About the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA)

Founded in 2003 by a unique mix of Wi-Fi, mobile & broadband operators

who viewed public Wi-Fi as a strategic complement to their mobile and fixed

broadband network(s)

WBA is the leading organization to champion the Development of the Converged Wireless Broadband Ecosystem

WBA drives and support the adoption of Next Generation wireless services with coexistence and convergence of

unlicensed and licensed networks across the entire Wireless ecosystem, including Smart Cities, IoT, Big Wi-Fi Calling, Converged Services, 5G, etc.

AGENDA

1. About WBA






India government is working to accelerate Internet penetration and develop the digital opportunity, Wi-Fi will play a relevant role in this vision

“The India Prime Minister has launched a much awaited and ambitious ‘Digital India Programme’, to create a participative, transparent and responsive government”

July 1st, 2015

The Prime Minister has announced plans of developing 100 smart

cities in India. September 3rd, 2014

Pillars of Digital India Programme • Broadband Highways • Universal Access to Phones • Public Internet Access Programme • E-Governance – Reforming government through

Technology • E-Kranti – Electronic delivery of services • Information for All Electronics • IT for Jobs Early Harvest Programmes • 400,000 Public Internet Access Points • Wi-Fi in 2.5 lakh schools, all universities; Public wi-fi

hotspots for citizens • Digital Inclusion: 1.7 Cr trained for IT, Telecom and

Electronics Jobs • Job creation: Direct 1.7 Cr. and Indirect at least 8.5 Cr. • E-Governance & eServices: Across government



Important to understand the scenarios where Public Wi-Fi and network interoperability will play a relevant role

Scenario 1 Give Internet access through Public Wi-Fi to India population

Scenario 2 Give Internet access through Public Wi-Fi to international visitors and tourists



• Unconnected and remote communities

• Deliver security and ease login

• National Interoperability and Roaming

• Single account for national grid of hotspots

Scenario 1 Give Internet access through Public Wi-Fi to India population



• Complement the effort to develop tourism in India (eg. eVISA)

• Deliver easy, secure and automatic authentication

• Develop International interoperability and Roaming

• Address visitors with & without Public Wi-Fi services

Scenario 2 Give Internet access through Public Wi-Fi to international visitors and tourists



Unlicensed technologies brings economic benefits and growth, several studies across the world are consistent on the conclusions

According to a new report completed by Telecom Advisory Services, of Columbia Business School, commissioned by WiFiForward, the economic value of unlicensed spectrum is over $228 Billion per-year in the U.S. alone.

April 2014

recent economic studies that add up the broader impact of unlicensed spectrum on the economy estimate its annual value at more than $140 billion

FCC – US Regulator

The economic impact of bringing 500 Mhz of spectrum to market by 2020 leads to at least 350,000 new jobs and an increase of 86$ billion to annual US GDP

New America Foundation

UK Department for Business together with Analysis Mason, considered that unlicensed spectrum technologies, including Wi-Fi would account for a 10-year NPV, until 2021 of 25.6 Billion GBP

AGENDA

1. About WBA






1. Accelerate broadband access with a wider portfolio of options/technologies to facilitate operators deployments

2. Important and reduce barriers to entry and move to a light touch regulatory regime, instead of prescriptive



Provide wider spectrum for Wi-Fi

• license-exempt outdoor use throughout the continuous range of 5150-5350 MHz

• license-exempt use of the 5470-5725 MHz band, which is utilized in many countries

• license-exempt use of the 5725-5825 MHz band for higher power (4W EIRP) outdoor usage

• extending the 5 GHz band by allocating 6GHz for license exempt use



Provide wider backhaul possibilities

• utilize the millimeter wave (mmWave) bands to deliver very high capacity service as a lower cost alternative to fiber

• V Band (57-64 GHz) should be delicensed for indoor and outdoor based access applications like Wi-Fi hotspots

• license-exempt use, both access and backhaul, in the 64-71 GHz range with appropriate power limits.

• permit channel bandwidths in accordance with the IEEE 802.11ad standard at 2.16 GHz.



The Wi-Fi ecosystem is vast and have opportunities for all types and size of operators (MNOs, MSOs, Broadband/Fixed, Pure Wi-Fi, …)

The market forces should be allowed to mature the ecosystem

without any regulatory intervention.



• Take in consideration the size of the India, market is tremendous

• Volume drives world standardization and industry focus for technologies & equipment adoption

Wi-Fi Roaming Ecossytem



WRIX-f: Financial clearing specification. Covers financial data handling, Invoicing, Reconciliation & Payment settlement.

WRIX-i: Specifies guidelines for a Wi-Fi Roaming Interconnect, including IP connectivity, RADIUS connectivity, WLAN session mediation, and service levels.

WRIX-d: Defines procedures for applying Inter Operator Tariffs and an XML-based data format for UDR file exchange.

WBA roaming process is summarized under the WRIX (Wireless Roaming Intermediary Exchange)



WRIX-i uses the RADIUS authentication, authorisation and accounting (AAA) framework, the following diagram describes the event sequence of a successful RADIUS session for a roaming user

RADIUS Access & Accounting Attributes are standardized in WRIX-i



WRIX-i supports the implementation of Key Performance Indicators to provide guidance in negotiating a Service Level

Agreement (SLA) to maintaining end-to-end quality of the WLAN roaming service between WBA member operators

And defines the concept for application by operators of:

Service Level Scenarios

Key Performance Indicators

Incident Severity Definitions



WRIX-d/f specifies the data clearing and financial settlement between operators (or other entities) that agreed to develop a Wi-Fi Roaming service



The WRIX Location Feed Format & File Exchange Specification (WRIX-L) establishes the framework for the consistent definition and description of hotspots and the process by which the information is exchanged between Home Service Providers and their Wi-Fi roaming partners.

The WRIX-L specification includes a combination of mandatory and optional fields which, at a minimum, identify the Service Set Identifier (SSID), supplier, geographic location, venue type and technical access requirements (e.g. security parameters) of an individual hotspot.



WBA-GSMA-CableLabs Joint Taskforces

WBA created individual taskforces with GSMA and CableLabs to bring

together the Wi-Fi, cellular and cable ecosystems in a collaborative

effort to align procedures and methods



Direct Bilateral Interconnection

Indirect Bilateral Interconnection

WRIX supports multi-direct or indirect interconnection

Develop Public Wi-Fi network looking into a multi-services network, for example Wi-Fi Calling can play a key role to increase demand & offer


In Summary

1. India is pursuing a vision of providing wider Internet access and Public Wi-Fi is best placed to play that role

2. Reduce barriers to entry and move to a light touch regulatory regime

3. Large port-folio of options and technologies will help operators to accelerate Public Wi-Fi deployments

4. WRIX and NGH provides the ideal framework to develop a secure and easy to use multi-service national grid with international interoperability
