Chemring Technology Solutions Presents World's First Policy-on-the-Device App at WiFi Offload Summit
ROMSEY, England and PALO ALTO, California, June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
18-19 June, Palo Alto, California
Chemring Technology Solutions [http://www.chemringts.com ], a world-class provider of
mobile data management solutions, will be a key contributor at this year's WiFi Offload
Summit. Ben Toner, Incubation Manager at Chemring Technology Solutions, will provide
insight to the panel session debating: "Massive aggregated Wi-Fi: Are mass-market wireless
services moving 'over-the-top'?"
Ben Toner joins leading WiFi experts, Evan Kaplan (iPass), Michael Jönsson (Birdstep)
and David Fraser (Devicescape), to deliver the best in carrier WiFi thought leadership and
innovation. The Summit focuses on how carriers can overcome the monetization challenge by
transforming new Wi-Fi technologies into profitable business models.
Chemring Technology Solutions has developed SmartSwitch
[http://www.policyonthedevice.com ], the world's first true policy-on-the-device app, which
provides enhanced subscriber engagement and connection management capability. SmartSwitch
allows operators to increase opportunities for the monetisation of network management as
its advanced policy engine supports 3GPP ANDSF policies as part of a more capable policy
language. SmartSwitch is also interoperable and tested with major network policy solution
providers and can be deployed onto Android, iOS and M2M platforms.
SmartSwitch enables mobile operators to develop a network that intelligently
interoperates with smartphones, and other devices, to deliver subscribers a personalised
mobile data experience. This supports operators' core business drivers of customer
recruitment, retention and revenues by delivering excellent network connectivity and
consistent device performance to subscribers, while reducing network cost.
Unlike other solutions, SmartSwitch is designed to deliver significant value through
deployment as an aftermarket application from any app store. It can be rapidly rolled out
without the need for operators to invest in infrastructure or additional capability, and
is ready to connect to full policy management solutions once they are deployed in the
network.
Ben Toner, said: "The proliferation of mobile traffic means that its effective
monetization and offload is now a significant issue for carriers. The WiFi Offload Summit
is a unique opportunity for experts from across the globe to debate how these challenges
can be addressed. Operators need to develop a robust offloading and Wi-Fi strategy in
order to continue to deliver customers an excellent mobile data experience and Chemring
Technologies is at the heart of the debate at this week's Summit."
SmartSwitch is optimised to provide network operators with intelligent selective
offload and traffic shaping, much of which can be provided as a simple application
delivered via an app store. Its unique policy framework allows operators to choose between
in-built traffic management solutions for seamless and aggregated use of network
technologies or to make use of native functionality offered within the chipsets. By using
context aware conditions, an understanding of user preferences and interaction with the
billing platform, network and data management are brought to life. As SmartSwitch is
application aware, this also gives operators the ability to reduce congestion in known
problem coverage areas and ensure that traffic from value-added applications is not lost.
