Kineto Enhances Smart Wi-Fi Application for Use in Public Wi-Fi Networks

MILPITAS, Calif. , Dec 21, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE –
Kineto
Wireless, the key innovator and leading supplier of Smart Wi-Fi
solutions for mobile operators, today announced it has added new
capabilities to its Smart Wi-Fi Application that enhance the end user
service experience when connected to public Wi-Fi networks, or hotspots.

Smart Wi-Fi is an application provided by mobile operators to their
subscribers that enables all mobile services (e.g. voice, SMS, MMS, RCS,
… to be delivered over existing Wi-Fi networks. To date, operators have
focused the use of Smart Wi-Fi on private Wi-Fi networks, such as those
at subscriber homes and offices, as a way to address indoor coverage
challenges as well as offload their macro network.

However, many mobile operators are now looking to also leverage public
Wi-Fi networks to realize additional offload and performance benefits.
According to the Wireless Broadband Alliance, 47% of mobile operators
surveyed believed further adoption of public Wi-Fi was «either very
important or crucial» and that the number of public Wi-Fi access points
could increase more than 400% to 5.8 units worldwide by 2015.

In response to this demand, Kineto has added capabilities that improve
the Smart Wi-Fi user experience when subscribers connect to public Wi-Fi
networks. These new features include:

–
Smart Connect — Frustrated smartphone users have learned the
hard way that simply attaching to a Wi-Fi hotspot doesn’t necessarily
mean they are given Internet access. Quite often, public Wi-Fi
networks require additional log-on steps before providing full data
connectivity. To address this challenge, Kineto has added a Smart
Connect feature that assists users with accessing hotspots when
additional log-on information is required.

–
Smart Offload — Subscriber usage of public Wi-Fi networks is
very different to usage of private Wi-Fi networks. For example,
subscribers typically stay connected to home and office Wi-Fi networks
for many hours at a time, while time spent connected to any given
public network can be very brief. Performance of public and private
Wi-Fi can also vary widely. Private Wi-Fi networks typically deliver
very good and consistent performance, while public hotspot performance
may not be as predictable.

To address these differences, Kineto has added Smart Offload
capabilities that enable selective service offloading to specific Wi-Fi
networks based on operator policy and subscriber preference. For
example, a subscriber may choose to have all their services (e.g. voice,
SMS, MMS, RCS-e, Internet, … automatically offloaded to their home and
office Wi-Fi network, but be asked what services they want offloaded
each time they connect to a new public Wi-Fi network (e.g. all services,
or just Internet access.

«To date, Kineto’s Smart Wi-Fi application has enabled mobile operators
and subscribers to fully benefit from private Wi-Fi deployment at home
and office,» said Ken Kolderup, chief marketing officer for Kineto.
«With these new features, operators can now leverage Smart Wi-Fi to
enhance the public Wi-Fi strategy as well. »

Smart Wi-Fi is available from leading mobile operators around the world,
and the Smart Wi-Fi application is available for Android-based
smartphones from leading handset manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC,
Motorola, LG, Huawei and ZTE.
