When 802.11ac arrives, technologies like seamless authentication, geolocation and locationbased analytics will deliver consumers a much richer, more personalized Wi-Fi experience. The arrival of 802.11ac will be gradual, but businesses will need to upgrade their network infrastructure to support much higher data loads and the new standards – soon.
Even though 802.11ac will not necessarily become an overnight requirement for Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi Alliance has begun certifying products early this year. There are a number of companies already releasing 802.11ac compatible products, and those products have the potential to help businesses take advantage of new technologies to increase their reach and their ROI.
Mobile networks are now dominated by data. If we rewind back to a decade ago, smartphones and application stores were unheard of. Twitter and Facebook were not in existence and YouTube wasn’t as popular. Culturally, consumers are valuing the need to be socially connected in the present day Internet.
The traditional cellular network cannot cope with the increase in data and signaling traffic that is generated and thus is driving carriers in the direction of offload. The Phase 1 approach was centered on immediately relieving congestion on the network by encouraging offload to any available Wi-Fi hotspot. In this second part of the five part offload series, we draw attention to Direct Internet Offload. The concept of Direct Internet Offload is nothing new, but has taken a slight shift considering Wi-Fi’s popularity. And the flexibility to integrate them into mainstream network design offers transformative opportunities for carriers without losing sight of the commitment to make the user experience secure and controlled.
Wi-Fi New Service Models For Next Generation NetworksGreen Packet
In this new era of explosive mobile data growth, rapid rise in mobile broadband services and rich digital content are contributing to unprecedented level of stress on mobile networks. Operators are feeling the pinch on their business models with the arrival of smart devices, leaving them in anxiety and unable to respond to the deluge of data.
As a measure to reduce congestion on their network, several tier 1 operators have discontinued unlimited data plans and launched tiered plans to ensure network performance. At the same time, operators do not want to risk losing a significant growing market of smartphone users that are looking for value added services. It is a challenge for operators to sustain the wave of data, let alone address the dwindling ARPU as the demand of data is outstripping the rate of supply.
The following section of this paper describes the possible options that operators can embrace to overcome the capacity crunch through innovative service models, the impact of Wi-Fi on delivering the right service experience and how emerging technology is pushing further the expectations of “big data”.
Hotspot Software provides the option of the internet to brand and marketing the product within a short time and it controls the data level to make smarter decisions.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

WiFi; It’s Not Just Connectivity
An overview of modern WiFi applications and
some best practice advice.
2. 2
WiFi, or Wireless LAN, connectivity has been a
growing trend in the information technology
sector for many years and it still remains one of
the fastest growing segments, second only to
security (Gartner).
Markets and Markets reported that the global
WiFi market is expected to grow to be a $33.6
Billion industry by 2020 at an estimated CAGR
of 17.8% - up from the $14.8 Billion market it
had in 2015.
WiFi; It’s Not Just Connectivity
WiFi though is no longer just about getting places, people and things connected – it’s grown into a valuable
business intelligence tool and resource.
Growth of WiFi in enterprises has been driven by an increased use of mobile devices and BYOD trends, as well as a surge in
technological advancements such as the Internet of Things which demand more flexible connectivity than wired alone can
offer. This, combined with consumer pressure for public WiFi hotspots, means that wireless LAN connectivity has become a
standard expectation across the board.
The Development of WiFi
WiFi, like all forms of connectivity, comes in multiple standards; the latest of these being 802.11ac.
The move to 802.11ac from the previous 802.11n standard brought with it the reliability and performance required to connect
even the most advanced, data-heavy applications over WiFi.
802.11ac is capable of…
1300Mbps speeds
Supports up to 8x MiMo antennas
Operates over both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels, and
Can maintain a better long range performance
All of which combine to deliver better throughput, efficiency and signal reliability.
The development of the 802.11ac standard, and the improved performance of WiFi as a result, has led to the advancement
of wireless technologies across multiple industry sectors as enterprises turn to wireless LAN as a true connectivity alternative
to wired networking.
3. 3
WiFi in Action | Industry Examples
WiFi in Retail; the next step in customer service and understanding.
Retailers have dramatically increased the use of wireless
technologies across their business, and they have become essential
to running the store; from shop-floor applications such as RFID and
pop-up Point of Sale (PoS) systems, to added value services such as
free customer WiFi access.
In retail though, WiFi is not just a customer service add-on or a tool for
increased employee flexibility, but has instead become a valuable source
of customer intelligence.
WiFi applications available today mean that retailers can track exactly how
people move through their store; where do they enter and exit, what paths
do they take, which areas are the busiest or get congested the most often?
All of these knowledge points can enable retailers to optimise their shop
floor to increase its impact on shoppers and convert more sales as a result.
By using the data in real-time, it also means retail employees can make
sure they are in the right place at the right time.
Retail stores and chains today are able to improve their customer understanding by leveraging guest WiFi access to gather
additional information. This data doesn’t just refer to age, gender and location – retailers can also know how long they used
the Internet for, how much data they used, which section of the store they spent the longest in, and so on, to provide more
insights into the type of shopper the individual is. Collecting this demographic and behavioural data, combined with existing
CRM, loyalty and PoS data, means that retailers can send highly targeted email, text and couponing promotions.
WiFi in Healthcare; connecting patients to healthcare workers.
Many critical healthcare applications today are now run over WiFi
and have been enabled with the latest, high-performance 802.11ac
standard. Able to deliver pervasive wireless connectivity, it is being
used to stream data from connected medical equipment direct to
mobile devices – enabling healthcare workers to access real-time
patient information from any location and removing the need for
physical patient files.
WiFi can also be leveraged by healthcare organisations to track patients as
they move through their facilities, as well as track important and expensive
assets such as wheelchairs, beds and equipment.
Guest WiFi for patients means that outpatient wait times can be put to
good use, and inpatients can stay connected to friends and family more
easily. Healthcare organisations can also update individuals with the latest
information direct to their connected mobile device, as well as enable
services such as self-check-in which can help to streamline workflows.
4. 4
WiFi in Hospitality; maximising customer engagement and delivering
new revenue opportunities.
Much like retailers, hospitality and event businesses such as
restaurants, hotels, holiday resorts and stadiums, are using guest
WiFi networks to deliver an added-value service to their customers.
In doing so they are also able to collate additional detailed data about
customer behaviour such as footfall and movement through the location,
as well as customer demographics – all of which helps to create engaging
and extremely targeted marketing campaigns to stimulate increased guest
spend.
Hotels and holiday resorts can also maximise their online engagement with
guests by using customised splash pages to promote their latest offers,
such as spa treatments, while restaurants can promote their latest meal
and drink promotions. Locations can even generate new revenue streams
by offering third party advertising space to local or associated businesses.
Additional revenue can also be delivered through an optional, paid-for
premium WiFi service which not only enables hospitality businesses to
monetise their WiFi, but also to manage their bandwidth dedication intelligently to ensure the best possible service for those
who need it the most.
WiFi can be used to…
All of which enables businesses to increase customer loyalty and life time value, while also
reducing operational overheads and improving service.

Important Choices When Sele WiFi So
As can be seen, many industries are benefi g from the advancements made in WiFi connec To ensure the
best solu on though, there are several key considera ons which organisa ons need to evaluate when making
the move to install or upgrade their wireless LAN service.
Futureproofing the network
Although some organisa ons may not yet be looking to expand their WiFi capabili es to
the latest applica ons looked at here, the me when they will start to is not that far away.
When inves ng in a wireless LAN solu on it’s therefore important that businesses don’t
just meet today’s needs, and that they select a solu on which provides some futureproofing. It’s also important to look for a
supplier who takes the future into account, in that their networking solu ons have longevity.
Security is paramount
The primary factor holding back growth of WiFi networks today is security, but there are
many solu ons which answer this all-important requirement. When selec ng a WiFi
solu on, it is important to ensure that it can offer the levels of security that the
organisa on needs and has the ability to separate corporate and guest traffic if it’s going
to be used to deliver both.
Wireless networks are at the edge of the enterprise network by their very nature, and so are most at risk to hacking ks
and other security risks, but with the right solu on the network edge can be as well protected as the core.
Don’t compromise on hardware
Many businesses are tempted to opt for consumer-grade hardware to save on cost, but
o en regret this later and, most commonly, have to upgrade their system again.
Enterprise-grade WiFi access points and controllers are essen al to ensuring that the
wireless LAN delivers a solid, reliable performance as they’re built to withstand 24/7 use and the mul ple workloads
generated from high numbers of ac ve WiFi devices.
Total cost of ownership
Even when using enterprise-grade equipment it is s ll important to opt for high quality in
place of cheap op ons – not just from a performance perspec ve but also from a cost-
op misa on perspec ve.
Although cheaper hardware will save money in the short term, it will ul mately cost the organisa on more in the longer term.
Cheap networking solu ons typically cannot be managed and supported efficiently, genera ng high network maintenance
costs.

manager on +44 (0) 1291 430 567 or info@westbaseuk.com.
They also won’t support advanced features such as load-balancing, limiting their use. Going for a high quality solution which
has support options, simplified manageability, advanced features and remote deployment and upgrade capabilities will cost
more initially, but save a lot in the long term – both in employee time and financial outlay.
Solution design
Selecting the right hardware is one piece of a wireless LAN network; it’s important for
organisations to work with trusted partners who can help them to design the right overall
networking solution.
For example, attention to details such as density of access points or the right management approach can be the making or
breaking of a successful WiFi network.
