Program to facilitate the coexistence between 3G and WiFi

The organization that oversees the development of the WiFi standard aims to facilitate the transition from cellular networks and wireless proper. Why the public should also WiFi 3G carriers, says the alliance

Rome - The organization Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) proposes the establishment of a new program of WiFi hotspots "certificates", with the main objective to facilitate as much as possible the coexistence of 3G networks and public WiFi networks - to benefit the ease of use of smartphone users but also to make a little 'easier' lives telephone carriers.

Hotspots certificates referred debating WFA would serve essentially to simplify the number of steps required for connecting to a WiFi hotspot accessible to the public, procedures made particularly easy on modern smartphones, but that the organization intends to turn into a fully automated process.

The new plan WFA - expected to debut commercial in the first half of 2012 - requires that smartphone or MID WiFi hotspot user communicates with the public as soon as it enters the "range" of coverage of the device, establishing a connection independently data which also includes the use of cryptographic protocol WPA2.

Redirect data connections to your WiFi router closer would have the advantage of providing users with a speed theoretically superior to that experienced on current 3G networks "advanced" (HSDPA +), suggests WFA, and ubiquity (real or imaginary?) Wireless hotspots would also serve as carriers would help ease traffic congestion that spills - and always will flow more - jammed on the infrastructure of the cellular networks.
