Presented at the Wi-Fi Offload Summit 2014 in Frankfurt, Germany, Boingo VP Howard Buzick joined Wi-Fi offload and carrier Wi-Fi thought leaders to address the ins and outs of Wi-Fi offload. The Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast, 2013-2018 just reported that 45% of total mobile data traffic was offloaded to Wi-Fi and small cells in 2013. This presentation covers Wi-Fi partnerships with mobile network operators (MNOs) in the past, what's happening today, and how Hotspot 2.0/Next Generation Hotspot will help Wi-Fi offload will realize its full potential. The presentation also features trends that are driving Wi-Fi offload.

Past
Only for users willing to pay for Wi-Fi roaming
package (often combined with cellular roaming)
Pricing, packaging and user experience typically
problematic for most MNOs
Few or no deployed solutions providing
seamless, policy based Wi-Fi connectivity
Primary Objective: Make Int’l Data Roaming Less Expensive

Present
Initial efforts focus on home/office offload
Secondary efforts include premium partner Wi-Fi
and MNO-deployed Wi-Fi
Policy-based, seamless Wi-Fi connectivity (Tier 1
US MNO planned deployment)
Some MNOs already have a serious need for Wi-Fi offload

Future
Need for Wi-Fi offload from all MNO networks
will emerge
Hotspot 2.0, policy mechanisms and Wi-Fi
pricing solutions will make Wi-Fi offload a
viable strategy
Wi-Fi will be just another metered bearer type, bringing mobile data
services to MNO customers
Wi-Fi offload will realize its full potential
