3G Wi-Fi Data Offload

Ensure robust DHCP service to Wi-Fi networks to increase reliability and capacity

3G Wi-Fi Data Offload

3G mobile networks are rapidly becoming stressed by increasing mobile user traffic due to the rapid growth in smartphones. Video downloads and social networking multimedia traffic are especially responsible for major capacity problems for mobile operators. Unfortunately for mobile operators, pervasive flat-rate pricing models have eliminated any opportunity for offsetting revenue growth.

Mobile operators are turning to Wi-Fi (or in some cases, WiMax) as a way to relieve the stress on overloaded 3G networks, especially at high traffic areas in major cities and at major entertainment complexes (sporting events, concerts, conventions, etc) where cell capacity is limited and users are relatively static and not moving between cell sites.

Upgrading the Wi-Fi Infrastructure for Smartphones

As mobile operators deploy 3G Offload networks and strike partnerships with Wi-Fi or WiMax network operators, an effective way of managing IP address provisioning and DHCP range allocations across the two networks becomes imperative. Infoblox makes the technological demands of this synergy among operators seamless and scalable by offering a high-capacity DHCP server in a hardened appliance, providing single-pane-of-glass management, low operating cost, simple administration, and automated HA/DR via the Infoblox Grid™.
