SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Mobile broadband developer Stoke, Inc. announces the immediate availability of its breakthrough wireless offload gateway, the Wi-Fi eXchange, that gives operators unprecedented ability to manage and monetize Wi-Fi connected subscribers. The solution opens the door for operators to offset the escalating costs of capacity increases through revenues from advertising and other premium services. The Wi-Fi eXchange also reduces traffic carrying costs by giving operators granular control over subscriber sessions, enabling them to balance traffic costs with traffic value.
“We know from current engagements that seamless connections and monetization have now become a top priority for operators,” said Dan McBride, Vice President of Marketing at Stoke. “Their ultimate vision for Wi-Fi is to deliver the same experience and service over Wi-Fi as they do over the cellular network. Stoke’s Wi-Fi eXchange makes this possible today, by providing standards-based solutions to congestion issues, user connectivity problems, and operators’ need to control and monetize Wi-Fi traffic. We leverage key principles from market-leading but not yet broadly implemented standards, meaning that operators can execute to their vision now, without waiting for upgrades or replacements to tens of millions of hotspots.”
