WOX · Wi-Fi Offload Experience

The Wi-Fi Offload Experience.

WOX decides in real time whether a connection should happen, not just whether it can, so subscribers always land on the best network available.

Why it matters

Your Edge: Visibility into Wi-Fi Offload.

WOX gives network operators live visibility into every Wi-Fi offload session, so you can see what’s happening and improve subscriber experience across converged networks.

The problem

Wi-Fi offload is a black box.

Offload decisions are a blind yes or no: operators can’t see if the Wi-Fi signal is strong enough before a subscriber connects. When it’s not, they pay for it in quality of experience.

The solution

Visible experience.

WOX Gateway checks signal quality in real time and only connects a subscriber to the Wi-Fi network when it meets the KPIs you set. That’s real control, not just a yes-or-no gate.

The Process

How WOX Makes Decisions.

Intelligent, real-time decision layer for quality connections. Like your own personal Wi-Fi traffic cop.

Collect

WOX reads live signal quality from the cell tower and the Wi-Fi access point, using the same standards set by 3GPP, WBA, and IETF. No new hardware required.

Compare

Quality-of-experience scoring across cellular and Wi-Fi, evaluated side by side for each connection.

Decide

WOX Gateway’s policy engine accepts or rejects the offload session based on the requirements set by the carrier.

Connect

A seamless, smart, and transparent handoff to whichever network — cellular or Wi-Fi — actually serves the subscriber best.
