Can you monetize a carrier Wi-Fi service even if it is included in the subscriptions?

The answer is yes! We can see this from our 100+ carrier Wi-Fi deployments serving hundreds of millions of users. Many operators do upselling to higher-tier service plans that include Wi-Fi. Others increased the price on their broadband or mobile subscriptions because carrier Wi-Fi give them a more competitive offering. Some bundle the Wi-Fi service with other type of services such as broadband and TV.

Carrier Wi-Fi a strategic b2b asset

The business-to-business (B2B) segment is important for operators in the hunt for sustainable growth. Wi-Fi services is the grease in operators B2B business. By delivering attractive guest Wi-Fi and corporate Wi-Fi services operators will gain more revenue. They will also increase opportunities to sell other services. At the same time they gain important indoor footprint for their own subscribers.

This is why our managed guest Wi-Fi and Virtual Service Provider solutions has become operators primary strategic B2B assets. For mobile operators they paves the way for small-cell/5g roll-outs. It is all about selling attractive services to businesses and venue owners, not about renting space for base stations.

Carrier Wi-Fi for indoor coverage

With carrier Wi-Fi you will get indoor coverage and added capacity in dense areas where it’s needed most. Furthermore, it is crucial for operators’ site acquisition efforts. In order to get access to their sites, you must offer venues and businesses something they want. Mobile operators can use Wi-Fi services as a vehicle to deploy small cells at indoor locations.

With Wi-Fi Calling mobile operators will have a greater flexibility in securing indoor coverage for their subscribers. They can combine Wi-Fi access points and cellular small cells at selected locations, with the freedom to only use Wi-Fi at locations where that makes sense.
