Wi-Fi is everywhere; in our homes, in our work places, on the streets, in the tube stations, in the airport. Analyst predictions are showing that about 80% of all mobile and voice data traffic will be Wi-Fi based in the near future. At the same time, telecommunications and cloud providers are struggling to find new revenue streams to compete with Over the Top (OTT) providers. In this direction, they are looking to create innovative telecom and cloud services and not just remain a dump pipe.
Meanwhile, designing and managing networks has become more innovative over the past few years with the aid of Software Defined Networking (SDN). Moreover, thanks to Network Function Virtualization (NFV) the operators are able to automate their networks while avoiding "vendor lock-in".
Intracom Telecom's solution unifies heterogeneous Wi-Fi Access Points, providing a centralized network management and unified services delivery engine. The providers benefit from the solution's carrier grade virtualization, by effortlessly isolating service offerings & network slices, as if they were running on completely separate hardware, while service function chaining is just a point and click configuration, offering unprecedented flexibility in creating and marketing advanced connectivity services in minimal time-to-market.
Moreover, Intracom Telecom has implemented an extensive Out-of-the-Box network services library (incl. DHCP, VoIP, Firewall, Web-Portal, Gateway, AAA Radius, NAT, DNS, Ad-Insertion, etc.) allowing Service Providers to readily offer new services in minimal time-to-market, while new 3rd party network service functions can effortlessly be integrated when needed. Finally, Quality of Service (QoS) can be applied based on different SSIDs (Class of Service CoS), or based to applications.
Intracom Telecom's Wi-Fi Service Innovation Platform is ideal for Service Providers, municipalities, schools, malls, enterprises, sport stadiums, airports and other similar cases as it is able to configure thousands of multi-vendor Wi-Fi Access Points from a single central point, powering a vast number of services. By using a point-and-click Graphical User Interface (GUI), the administrator can create different SSIDs providing separated and isolated set of services in each network. Finally, the operator can provide innovative services at minimum time-to market with minimum capital and operational expenditures (CapEx and OpEx).
Wifio™ enables Wi-Fi infrastructure owners with multi-vendor network topology to be notified about crowd concentration in the vicinity of their Access Point devices, allowing them to aid in respecting appropriate social distancing regulations and fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.
wifio™ supports Wi-Fi roaming even in a multivendor environment. A Wi-Fi infrastructure owner can use wifio so his/her end-user is able to roam between Wi-Fi networks using a secure way (user name & password) or seamlessly without the need to re authenticate each time it roams.
Cities should avail themselves of the opportunities that IoT technologies offer on their way to become Smarter. As the number of Wi-Fi Access Points across the city is increased, Intracom Telecom's wifio™ platform can manage them centrally offering a big opportunity for extra monetization and service delivery.
Today's generation of students is unlike any other. These digital natives keep their beloved mobile devices attached at the hip: they keep their mobile devices on them at all times and expect connectivity. Intracom Telecom's wifio™ Platform is the best solution for schools unifying and managing all Wi-Fi APs centrally and offering virtual networks for students, teachers and visitors, while ensuring security and ease of administration.
Seven out of ten travelers declare that in-room free guest Wi-Fi access is more important than the hotel's location, parking and even complimentary breakfast. wifio™ fulfills the needs of small and large hotels through a buy-as-you-grow model that fits the real needs of the business without vendor lock-in. The hotel can start with access points from Vendor A for indoor areas and access points from Vendor B for outdoor areas and then expand with Vendor C.
