4. Wi-Fi | No Longer the Fringe Network
Wi-Fi has firmly established itself as a critical part of
today’s mobile network fabric
HetNets (Heterogeneous Networks) are now the
clear industry direction to enhance network
capacity, coverage and user connectivity
› Complementary combination of large cell (LTE, HSPA+)
and small cell (Wi-Fi) technologies

Reasons for
› High cost of cellular data plans
greater Wi-Fi › Wi-Fi available where tablets are used
reliance › Tablet users already own a cellular smartphone,
which fulfills the ‘must have’ connectivity need

11. Offload | A Closer Look
Domestic data offload has received the majority of
industry attention and media coverage
While important, it is not the ‘low hanging fruit’
Offloading to consumer’s home and work network
makes economic sense
Offloading to commercial networks is difficult
economically unless Carriers own the Wi-Fi network
Offload to commercial networks can be complex.
NGH addresses many of these complexities.
Offload is largely cost savings justified

13. Wi-Fi | International Roaming
International Wi-Fi roaming is the low hanging fruit
It offers carriers the opportunity to act now (not
after infrastructure build-outs) to enhance their
value proposition, increase ARPU and reduce Churn
Rate without consuming CAPEX, and differentiate!
Increase addressable Broaden

14. Churn Rate | Now, Highest Ever
• “Mobile customers now switch providers every 27
months, more than twice as frequently as a decade ago”
In 2011, 44 per cent of global mobile subscribers churned
– the highest level ever
27 months

15. Summary | Opportunities
Lost roaming revenues
1
(up to 70% turn off data roaming)
Lost market growth opportunities (Wi-Fi devices)
Lost customer mind share = increased churn rate
Lost opportunity to lock-in subscriber retention
via ‘sticky’ services (bundle cellular and Wi-Fi
devices on single plan)

16. Wi-Fi International | Value Proposition
Leverage lower-cost Wi-Fi networks for international data
roaming, especially for data hungry applications
Allow the consumer to live and behave as they do when
they are home
Access to certain applications require Wi-Fi
Capitalize on rapid growth of Wi-Fi devices; increase
addressable market size and share-of-wallet SPs enable their
subscribers to roam onto
• Family plans expand into multi device plans Wi-Fi networks to
foreign
increase their service
International Wi-Fi Roaming is justified by revenue, churn
value
reduction, and competitive differentiation

18. Closing | Remarks
Adopt International Wi-Fi roaming solutions now
while continuing to plan and prepare for Offload
Capture the opportunity to enhance roaming value
proposition; grow customer base and reduce churn –
strengthening future position to succeed in Offload
Seek a ‘Roam-in’ and/or ‘Wi-Fi Exchange’ partner as
part of your Offload strategy to help monetize Wi-Fi
assets and recover investment more quickly
