Wi-Fi offloading
In busy locations with high volumes of mobile traffic like sports stadiums, shopping malls, public transport hubs and underground metros, SIM- and eSIM-based devices can automatically switch from mobile data connections to local Wi-Fi networks.
Wi-Fi offloading
Transferring the data traffic to Wi-Fi networks reduces the load on the mobile network, which improves the coverage and the user experience. In addition, using Wi-Fi roaming services, such as Google Orion Wi-Fi or OpenRoaming, can further reduce costs when carriers can use these additional services for Wi-Fi offloading.
As one of the key use cases for SIM authentication, Wi-Fi offloading enables SIM-based devices to automatically switch data and voice traffic from mobile networks to Wi-Fi networks.
At the same time, IMSI Privacy Protection for Wi-Fi ensures that the mobile user’s identity will be exposed on the Wi-Fi network. This is supported by Radiator and required by newest Android and iOS mobile devices when connecting to the network.
On the configuration side, the basic Wi-Fi offloading is somewhat easy to achieve: you only need Radiator SIM Pack, and the connections Wireless Access Gateway (in order to connect to the Wi-Fi network) and to the HSS where end user identities are stored. With this connection, Radiator can provide the authentication from mobile users to the Wi-Fi network in use.
