Data Offload - Carrier Strategies & Consumer Perspectives
Presented by Ovum Research and Smith Micro
Thursday May 17 - 8AM Pacific Time
Data offload is one of the key challenges facing mobile network operators (MNOs) today. In fact, recent Ovum research indicates that 70% of MNOs surveyed already have, or plan to have, a data offload solution in place by the end of 2012.
WiFi, Small Cells, and 4G LTE are all being touted as panaceas for solving the data congestion problem, but where should MNOs start to address this critical issue, and what do consumers have to say about it?
Based on first-hand market research conducted by Ovum and Smith Micro, this webinar will contrast current MNO data offload strategies with consumer response to different connection methods.

Windows 8 promises a number of connectivity advantages over previous versions of Windows, including improved WWAN Management and additional broadband API’s. With a new Metro UI and a classic Desktop UI to support, operators still have plenty of work to integrate backend systems and offer the advanced connection management features subscribers have come to expect. Learn how to enhance your Windows 8 strategy and create the best overall user experience.
Data offload has become a top priority for mobile network operators dealing with network congestion. The key to implementing an effective offload strategy is to manage mobile data traffic where it starts - at the device - before traffic gets onto the core network. Learn why controlling data traffic at the source is essential to delivering the highest levels of mobile network performance and subscriber satisfaction.
As consumers increasingly demand data on the move, the use of WiFi hotspots continues to climb. For mobile carriers, that trend poses some potential problems. Solving these problems can give operators new methods of managing and monetizing these WiFi connections. Learn what these problems are and how to solve them.
While some may believe that the value of voicemail has vanished, a casualty of texting and social networking, smart operators like Sprint are finding ways to engage customers and create new revenue opportunities through enhanced voicemail services. See how voicemail no longer is something you hear, but it’s something you can see, manage and share, just like email. Learn how voicemail still has sex appeal that’s worth paying for and how it can pay off for you, too.
The rapid growth in data consumption from mobile devices, known as a "data tsunami," has driven mobile operators to consider alternatives to manage network congestion. This webinar will describe how a targeted approach to the mobile data overload problem can provide a more cost-effective, immediate solution for managing mobile data eruptions.
Mobile hotspot devices, such as wireless router "pucks" and smartphones, are gaining popularity, but some carriers are struggling to keep usability complaints and support costs in check. Learn how Smith Micro can provide an easier, better-managed mobile broadband experience for consumers.
Consumerization and BYOD (bring your own device) trends have enterprise IT struggling with a host of new challenges these trends have brought. Our webinar will review some of the most pressing concerns and offer some advice on how to best address these.
BYOD (bring your own device) is one of the growing trends adopted by enterprise companies as the consumerization of IT takes hold. After smartphones and tablets, there is another device that is rapidly gaining adoption, especially in the enterprise. That device is the mobile hotspot. These devices allow you to take a 3G/4G broadband connection and share it wirelessly with up to five other devices. Enterprises will want to be sure to employ their security and connection policies to these devices as well.
