The business case is changing
From capacity to revenue
June
2014
Copyright © Maravedis Inc 2014.
www.maravedis-bwa.com
• WiFi becomes part of ‘densification’, with other networks or alone
• At first, affordable capacity is enough
• MNOs can lower cost of delivering data by over 40% in dense areas
• MSOs can lower fees to MNOs and increase loyalty
• Increased access and offload revenues for pure-plays
• But improved capacity and TCO are becoming table stakes
• In a survey of c120 WiFi providers, 76% were looking for additional
business benefits
• New revenue streams would be essential to justify significant density or
upgrade, said 54%

integrate WiFi in their own networks
• 75% of MNO small cells to integrate
WiFi by 2018
• Key MNO uses
• Data offload
• Differentiated QoS levels
• First step to small cell layer (eg O2)
• Location and presence
% of new mobile data capacity MNOs expect to gain from
various techniques in 2013 and 2018

• Key opportunities for MNOs to harness
Carrier WiFi and integrated WiFi/small
cells
• To date, focus has been on
advertising and location awareness
• By 2018, context aware business
services are leading
• Key is to make WiFi a tool for added
value services
• Alternative route – use WiFi-first for
access, keep LTE for premium services
• In all cases, processing and intelligence
moves to the edge

• Like MNOs, MSOs have started with
conservative thinking
• Leverage cables for backhauling urban
WiFi
• Adding WiFi as added value for cable
subscribers
• However, WiFi becoming strategic
• Huge build-outs eg Liberty, Cable

Two key routes:
Wholesale:
• Aggregators increasingly important as
MNOs and MSOs limit own build
• Big opportunity in hotspot ‘as a service’
• Evolving platforms to support large
numbers of service providers flexibly
• BandwidthX, Google
Retail:
• Key to providing direct services is to
move beyond access
• In survey, WISPs said consumers drawn
primarily to spend more by:
•Context awareness
•Well targeted promotions
•Broad roaming
•Exclusive applications or content
