Towerstream to Participate in WBA's Next Generation Hotspot Live Roaming Experience at Wi-Fi Global Congress in Beijing, Chin...
November 19 2013 - 4:01PM
Towerstream Corporation (Nasdaq:TWER), a leading 4G and Small Cell
Rooftop Tower company, announced they will be using their existing
network to support the WBA in an upcoming Wi-Fi live roaming
experience to demonstrate the Wireless Broadband Alliance's (WBA)
Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) initiative at the Wi-Fi Global
Congress in Beijing, China November 18th through the 21st.
The WBA will offer an exclusive look at Next Generation
Hotspots. The Wi-Fi live roaming experience will be a collaborative
experience from companies such as China Mobile, Cisco, Aicent and
Towerstream Corp.
For the demonstration, a select number of mobile phones will
seamlessly roam between cellular and Wi-Fi networks using the
existing Towerstream NGH platform located in the U.S. The phones
will automatically recognize and pass through the connection to the
Towerstream Wi-Fi network in the U.S. thus taking the phones off of
the current cellular network and onto Towerstream's Wi-Fi
network.
"This demonstration gets straight to the point of everything we
have been working to build the last several years," said Jeff
Thompson, Towerstream CEO. "With the explosion of mobile data
traffic continuing to create significant performance issues, thanks
to the WBA's NGH process, we are now able to offer offload options
across any of our networks to carriers located anywhere in the
world."
Arthur Giftakis, VP of Engineering and Operations at Towerstream
added, "Towerstream is excited about showcasing its NGH compliant
network fully capable of supporting carrier Wi-Fi at the Wi-Fi
Mobile Congress. The demonstration offers a live example of
seamless roaming between a cellular and Wi-Fi network transparent
to the end user. It is our pleasure to participate."
