ETB Colombia offloads LTE subscribers to WiFi to boost its data coverage

Case Study Overview

La Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Bogota (ETB), Colombia’s principal communications service provider, wanted to provide a consistent data experience to its LTE subscribers. Given its longstanding association with Alepo, ETB decided to implement Alepo’s carrier-grade WiFi offload solution.

This case study details how Alepo’s WiFi offload, part of its Carrier WiFi solution, helped ETB Colombia significantly improve its data coverage. The solution ensures uninterrupted data connectivity for LTE subscribers, offloading them to the WiFi hotspot network where LTE coverage is low.

Key Takeaways
