Importantly, IWiNS doesn't require any changes to the operating system (OS) of the device. No deep hooks … need to be put in place," McKinney said, likening it to having a "network engineer embedded in your device" to determine the best network for the type of traffic the consumer is using. Mario Di Dio, a principal architect at CableLabs credited with conceiving the idea, said IWiNS is effectively an OTT solution enabled by a software client installed on the user's smartphone. Meanwhile, cable operators utilizing the IWiNS technology will deploy the servers and other network-facing elements that run the platform software.
Di Dio said operators – whether they run mobile services as an MNO or through MVNO partnerships, could deploy IWiNS in their own data centers, on-premises or even in a public cloud, and do so without making any changes to the access network.
According to info posted by computer science degree jobs subsidiary Kyrio, IWiNS will also allow operators to define policies that are specific to their product offerings or service tiers, such as those tailored for customers who work from home. Additionally, those policies can also target specific networks, whether it's LTE, home Wi-Fi or public Wi-Fi.
