Wi-Fi and Cellular Networks
Dead zones often happen at the edge of Wi-Fi networks or areas where Wi-Fi reception is poor. The handoff to a cellular network is often delayed because the mobile device hangs onto the Wi-Fi connection long after it’s responsive, causing delays or disruptions in connectivity. That’s especially aggravating when a user leaves a Wi-Fi connected house and can’t immediately connect to a navigation app. Or loses connection with a rideshare app at an airport because the device wants to hang on to an unresponsive Wi-Fi. This also can be annoying when using a smartphone while riding on a train and going in and out of connection status. Or watching a video while on the move and having the video connection hang. Users just want to stay connected when using their mobile device.
Powered by the Data Management Engine, Mobolize Bond intelligently leverages both cellular and Wi-Fi radios to create a smooth, seamless handoff between the two. Bond eliminates frustrating dead zones so mobile users stay connected without having to manually change between these radios/networks. The result: streaming video is uninterrupted, GPS doesn’t freeze, apps continue working and game plays aren’t delayed.
Here’s how it works:
