Scenario
A mobile operator had been facing problems of excess data traffic on its 3G network, especially in areas of high concentration of people in urban centres. So it needed to find a way to expand infrastructure without having to make heavy investments.
Solution
The operator chose to create a Wi-Fi based infrastructure, which would function as an alternative to 3G subscribers when they were in some selected sites - those in which data network demand is larger.
To make the project (the first of its kind in Latin America), the company had PromonLogicalis services and Cisco equipment. The solution includes the supply of Cisco controller, management and access points, besides integration services to the mobile core, assisted operation and support.
Benefits
Thanks to the project, the operator was able to vent their data network with lower investment (CAPEX). As investment in 3G network is far superior to the creation of WiFi sites, the solution provides a significant savings in CAPEX for the mobile network operator.
In addition, the company managed a gain in image and customer relations, since the mobile internet navigation now offers a superior experience.
