KUALA LUMPUR -- Greenpacket, a leading developer of next generation mobile broadband and networking solutions, continues its leadership in Wi-Fi QoS with breakthrough advancement in Intelligent Network Selection and Seamless Network Roaming via the Signal Assisted Switching methodology. The patent pending methodology reinforces the importance of Wi-Fi experience in mobile data offloading. The Signal Assisted Switching methodology in mobile data offloading enhances user experience by ensuring the device will only connect to a Wi-Fi AP when supported by a high quality Wi-Fi signal. The Wi-Fi radio control can be made more precise in relation to the user experience which makes relevant seamless network roaming between 3G-Wi-Fi in the wider mobile data offloading strategy. Wi-Fi QoS essentially works by encouraging the intelligent use of Wi-Fi hotspot and handles the seamless handover from network to network between Wi-Fi and 3G and vice-versa through a software device-client which is capable of verifying Wi-Fi radio, signal strength threshold analysis, stable timer hysteresis, location prioritized APs, aggregating information from Wi-Fi APs and crowd-sourced information from users to get data on the performance of hotspots prior to switching.
