1 Harness the Power of Policy on Device

2 The Power of Policy on Device How do you respond to an insatiable demand for always-on, lightning-fast wireless data by millions of mobile users? Policy-on-Device (PoD) solutions enable wireless carriers, cable operators and enterprises to manage data traffic where it starts on the device. By controlling how and when devices connects to any Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G network, users get the Quality of Experience (QoE) they expect - while optimizing network resources and lowering costs. But PoD is only as powerful as it is intelligent, and that s where the NetWise platform shines. NetWise provides dynamic connection management and policy control using an intelligent client on the device. NetWise solves a wide range of wireless connectivity challenges stemming from heterogeneous network (HetNet) complexity, Wi-Fi hotspot proliferation, onslaught of connected devices/apps/data, and fragmentation of M2M platforms. With so much at stake and so little time, you need a PoD platform you can deploy quickly and build on as your needs evolve. Let NetWise help you harness the power of PoD to optimize wireless connections and deliver the highest QoE to end users. Smith Micro Software 2

3 Deliver a Better Network Experience with NetWise NetWise is an intelligent, client-server management platform that uses the power of Policy-on-Device to reduce data congestion, increase usage of Wi-Fi and 4G, and improve Quality of Service (QoS) across wireless networks. Device Client Preloaded Client Smartphone App With NetWise, operators and enterprises can manage when and how devices connect to any 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi network, providing end users with a better performing, more reliable wireless experience, while optimizing network resources and data costs. Key Features: Intelligent Network Selection and Authentication Automatically and securely connect users to the best available network, including public and private Wi-Fi Remotely Configurable Policies Analytics Target policies in congested areas using a variety of factors, Server such as time of day, type of traffic, network throughput, and preferred roaming networks; deploy policy silently, updates over the air Policy Server Smart Radio Management Turns device radios on and off as needed, to simply connectivity, increase offload rates while saving battery power Flexible Deployment Options Over-the-top user app provides quick and easy gains in network efficiency, while embedded device controls enable more complex traffic management scenarios when needed Interoperable Design Platform architecture supports industry standards such as Hotspot 2.0, ANDSF, LwM2M, and OMA-DM. Key Benefits: Simplify Wi-Fi access and increase utilization Reduce network congestion with data offload Improve QoS and overall customer experience to increase satisfaction and retention Control roaming and implement other advanced traffic management policies Data connection via private corporate Wi-Fi Wi-Fi Wi-Fi 3G Network Transition securely to public Wi-Fi Session continues over 3G/4G Smith Micro Software 3

4 Evolve Traffic Policies as Your Needs Increase NetWise Director helps optimize service delivery by enabling sophisticated device policies and controls. As wireless and cable operators evolve their traffic strategies with a mix of Wi-Fi, 4G and partner networks, NetWise Director combines advanced policy controls with real-time network conditions to achieve business objectives and create a seamless experience for end users. Advanced Policy Controls: Network Authentication Extend core network services over trusted and untrusted networks, including public and private Wi-Fi Advanced Network Selection Connect subscribers to the right network based on service tiers, preferred roaming, whitelist/blacklist access points, and more Flexible Business Models Enable value-based network access such as pay-per-use, day passes, and ad-sponsored data NetWise Director Use Case Examples Wi-Fi Discovery/Radio Control Select, prioritize and control device radio for 3G/4G-LTE and Wi-Fi network connections HetNet Connectivity & Security Management Prioritize between WWAN and Wi-Fi networks; automatically connect to policy-defined or user-defined Wi-Fi profiles; automate security and authentication process, including EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA/AKA, EAP-TTLS, EAP-TLS and WISPr Connection Quality Assessment and Connection Management Detect common Wi-Fi problems and measure performance/quality of the connection; automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi with poor QoS; temporarily blacklist poorly performing Access Points based on pre-defined QoS thresholds Wi-Fi Band Steering Wi-Fi 2.4 & 5 GHz band steering to optimize wireless connectivity in densely populated areas with high network traffic Key Features and Benefits Intelligent Device Client Optimizes QoE Automatic Network Prioritization, Selection and Authentication promotes silent end-user experience Dynamically Evolve Network Prioritization based on operator-defined policies and actual QoS rankings Update Device Policies and Software over-the-air (OTA) Easily Integrate 3rd-party Services via API with pre-defined integration pathways Smith Micro Software 4

5 Improve Quality of Service with Device Analytics NetWise Optics provides device-based analytics that allow operators to see, measure and understand connectivity patterns across both owned and partner 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks. With NetWise Optics, operators have visibility into service-impacting issues like Wi-Fi connection success rates, data throughput and usage by time of day, device type, user group, etc. These insights can be used to fine tune policies, optimize strategies and continuously improve the subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE). Key Features: On-Device Analytics for visibility into network access and performance metrics Ad hoc Reporting to evaluate usage trends and service levels Key Benefits: Simplify Wi-Fi access and increase utilization Enable effective, dynamic offload policies to optimize resources Improve Quality of Experience for subscribers Manage service levels with Wi-Fi partners Deliver a Seamless Experience with Automated Provisioning The NetWise Passport credential provisioning solution enables communication service providers to amplify the value of Wi-Fi by streamlining subscriber on-boarding, authentication and credential management. Key Features: Zero-click Wi-Fi credential provisioning and user authentication Automatic network discovery and seamless user on-boarding Support users with non-sim devices Automated churn management Key Benefits: Deliver a hassle-free Wi-Fi experience to your subscribers Efficient management of partner networks and multi-party Wi-Fi strategy Extend the reach (and value) of your Wi-Fi network to non-sim and legacy devices Smith Micro Software 5
