運營商

全球範圍內的網路運營商都在以適合自身獨特需求的業務模式部署Wi-Fi®。隨著終端用戶對更快的速度，更可靠的服務和更卓越的用戶體驗的期望越來越高，Wi-Fi 的性能及其普遍性為運營商創造了條件，使其能夠利用Wi-Fi 來改善住宅內外以及企業環境中的網路服務。Wi-Fi 被用於擴大覆蓋範圍，卸載數據流量，增加網路密度，通過戶外付費內容吸引用戶，從而提升用戶忠誠度並減少漫遊成本。

運營商面臨著一系列必須應對的挑戰，用戶對安全及隱私的需求不斷增加，逐漸成為必備條件。新的應用要求更低的延遲。不理想的客戶端漫遊已經成為一個重大的障礙，因為需要識別最適合的設備並修復客戶端設備性能不一致的問題。移動運營商也面臨著升級至5G來改善接入能力的壓力。為了支持各種不同設備、不同環境以及不同數據源的需求，運營商應該部署具備最新Wi-F認證的Wi-Fi 設備。

Wi-Fi行業正在以超高的創新水準滿足廣泛的需求： 

Wi-Fi具有獨一無二的特性，其發展路線圖可為運營商及IT管理人員帶來諸多益處，例如更好的資源管理、更高的速度、更廣的範圍、成本效益管理、服務差異化、對高端用例的支持以及影響客戶端在其託管網路中漫遊行為的能力。Wi-Fi 技術已經成為提升容量的強大工具，其正在開發的持續增強功能路線圖將確保Wi-Fi 技術繼續推動機遇，包括支持和啟用新服務、提供可靠和安全的無線連接、通過認知無線電技術實現能效目標，並以低延遲來支持新興服務的體驗品質。

Wi-Fi Alliance®合作論壇是能夠實現滿足運營商要求的技術創新的獨特平臺，這一組織中有來自運營商、設備製造商和消費電子產品製造商的強有力的代表。為了確保在整個運營商生態系統中保持一致並提供最有價值的計畫，Wi-Fi Alliance與其他以運營商為中心的組織（包括 CTIA™、GSM 協會、無線寬頻聯盟和 CableLabs®）簽訂了聯絡協議。

Wi-Fi 設備指標

作為Wi-Fi 技術創新的引領者，Wi-Fi Alliance 開發了一個框架，為運營商提供了評估網路設備品質的測試工具。Wi-Fi設備指標促進標準化的方法和統一的術語，來幫助描述和評估 Wi-Fi 接入點（AP）和客戶端設備，為一系列特定部署場景提供吞吐量、延遲及用戶體驗的衡量指標。通過制定這一框架，IT 管理人員和網路架構師可以更全面地評估接入點（AP）和客戶端設備，從而識別出可以為目標應用程式提供更好的客戶體驗的高性能設備。

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Passpoint bring to hospitality?

Hospitality chains may own many brands but a single consolidated rewards program. Without Passpoint, either the rewards program SSID needs to be added at every hotel or users’ phones must be configured with several SSIDs. Passpoint can function with a single profile that identifies the rewards program instead of a hotel SSID. When a user visits an associated property, their device will automatically identify the access point and connect.

Which Wi-Fi Vantage technologies help quickly connect to another AP or another network?

Wi-Fi Agile Multiband: Fast Basic Service Set (BSS) Transition, also known as Fast Transition, is based on IEEE 802.11r. Fast Transition enables devices to reauthenticate quickly with WPA2 security when roaming within the same Wi-Fi network, improving experience with latency sensitive applications such as voice over Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi Optimized Connectivity: Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS) Authentication is a mechanism defined in IEEE 802.11ai to enable fast authentication to APs.

Why should end users purchase Wi-Fi Vantage devices?

Devices that are certified for Wi-Fi Vantage represent the most recent and interoperable Wi-Fi technologies for managed networks. Users will experience fewer connection interruptions during calls or video streaming, even while traversing through a transportation hub like a large airport. These devices, when used in a Wi-Fi Vantage enabled network, bring a more seamless and consistent connection and therefore a better mobile experience.

What is a managed network?

Managed networks are Wi-Fi networks, such as those operated in airports, stadiums, schools, office buildings, retail and hotel locations and other venues, that are “managed” by network administrators to optimize their coverage, performance, and network access. These networks are frequently open to the public or offer access to subscribers.

What features are planned for Wi-Fi Vantage devices in future generations?

Future generations of Wi-Fi Vantage will add enhancements in network access, frequency band and channel management, and reduced connection times, resulting in improved roaming and management of Wi-Fi networks.

How does Passpoint support service provider branding and customer relationships?

Passpoint enabled mobile devices can choose networks based on a list of preferred (direct or partner) providers, specific services and/or the best performance characteristics. For service providers offering a managed experience, seamless authentication is a valuable element, and Passpoint networks also support deployments where a click-through screen is essential for acceptance of terms and conditions or branding.
