Benefits for Enterprises

Enterprises are increasingly deploying WLAN-based networks, to become more competitive. This means using WLAN to improve business processes and, just as importantly, to offer new services. The ability to securely deploy multiple services on a single network, like voice and data, as well as machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, is what makes WLAN so compelling for the enterprise.

Benefits for Wireline Operators/ISPs

The rising demand for WLAN services from enterprises, represents additional business for service providers. As well as this, the exciting fixed-mobile convergence market is looming on the horizon. In order to build a profitable WLAN business, service providers will need to master the challenges of WLAN service provisioning within the enterprise, but will also have the additional challenge of managing distributed WLAN enterprise networks.

Benefits for Mobile Operators

Mobile operators who operate large public WLAN networks need to be able to manage subscribers, services, locations, roaming, portal pages, as well as interfaces to payment servers and the SMS centers (SMSC). Most importantly for MNOs is the ability to be able to quickly and easily redefine service packages and bundles, to respond to changing market requirements.
