Service Provider
One of the biggest benefits that service providers will get from 802.11ac will be related
to hotspots. Hotspots have been a popular solution for service providers, because
users can pay a subscription fee to use the Wi-Fi network, which generates revenue.
Hotspots also provide a way to offload data flow to the Wi-Fi network rather than using
the 3G or LTE network. By introducing 802.11ac into hotspots, service providers can
differentiate themselves from the competition. With more and more 802.11ac devices
flooding the market, customers may choose to pay extra to use their new 802.11ac-
enabled tablet or laptop and receive the higher bandwidth that is offered. Hotspot
customers will also get a much better experience with high-bandwidth applications
such as Netflix and Hulu Plus, and the service provider can generate extra revenue
by charging a premium for the service. In addition, the continued shift to 5 GHz
in 802.11ac will relieve congestion on the already crowded 2.4-GHz band that is
common in many hotspot deployments. Using 802.11ac, service providers will be able
to offer their customers more bandwidth on a more efficient network, while having the
ability to generate more revenue.
