运营商

全球范围内的网络运营商都在以适合自身独特需求的业务模式部署Wi-Fi®。随着终端用户对更快的速度，更可靠的服务和更卓越的用户体验的期望越来越高，Wi-Fi 的性能及其普遍性为运营商创造了条件，使其能够利用Wi-Fi 来改善住宅内外以及企业环境中的网络服务。Wi-Fi 被用于扩大覆盖范围，卸载数据流量，增加网络密度，通过户外付费内容吸引用户，从而提升用户忠诚度并减少漫游成本。

运营商面临着一系列必须应对的挑战，用户对安全及隐私的需求不断增加，逐渐成为必备条件。新的应用要求更低的延迟。不理想的客户端漫游已经成为一个重大的障碍，因为需要识别最适合的设备并修复客户端设备性能不一致的问题。移动运营商也面临着升级至5G来改善接入能力的压力。为了支持各种不同设备、不同环境以及不同数据源的需求，运营商应该部署具备最新Wi-F认证的Wi-Fi 设备。

Wi-Fi行业正在以超高的创新水平满足广泛的需求： 

Wi-Fi具有独一无二的特性，其发展路线图可为运营商及IT管理人员带来诸多益处，例如更好的资源管理、更高的速度、更广的范围、成本效益管理、服务差异化、对高端用例的支持以及影响客户端在其托管网络中漫游行为的能力。Wi-Fi 技术已经成为提升容量的强大工具，其正在开发的持续增强功能路线图将确保Wi-Fi 技术继续推动机遇，包括支持和启用新服务、提供可靠和安全的无线连接、通过认知无线电技术实现能效目标，并以低延迟来支持新兴服务的体验质量。

Wi-Fi Alliance®合作论坛是能够实现满足运营商要求的技术创新的独特平台，这一组织中有来自运营商、设备制造商和消费电子产品制造商的强有力的代表。为了确保在整个运营商生态系统中保持一致并提供最有价值的计划，Wi-Fi Alliance与其他以运营商为中心的组织（包括 CTIA™、GSM 协会、无线宽带联盟和 CableLabs®）签订了联络协议。

Wi-Fi 设备指标

作为Wi-Fi 技术创新的引领者，Wi-Fi Alliance 开发了一个框架，为运营商提供了评估网络设备质量的测试工具。Wi-Fi设备指标促进标准化的方法和统一的术语，来帮助描述和评估 Wi-Fi 接入点（AP）和客户端设备，为一系列特定部署场景提供吞吐量、延迟及用户体验的衡量指标。通过制定这一框架，IT 管理人员和网络架构师可以更全面地评估接入点（AP）和客户端设备，从而识别出可以为目标应用程序提供更好的客户体验的高性能设备。

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.
