Extend indoor 5G coverage with secure Wi-Fi Passpoint

The 5G paradox: extreme speed, invisible coverage

Operators are investing billions in 5G, but users spend most of their time indoors, where signal quality drops because of modern building materials.

The result is poor service quality exactly where demand is highest, with indoor traffic significantly exceeding outdoor traffic.

The CAPEX trap of traditional solutions

Extending indoor coverage through traditional systems such as DAS is complex, expensive, and difficult to scale.

In addition, regulations and technical standards are often fragmented, further slowing large-scale deployment projects.

The turning point: Wi-Fi as an extension of the mobile network

LUMEN Carrier provides the full technology stack to distribute certified Passpoint profiles directly within the MNO/MVNO ecosystem.

Smartphones automatically recognize managed Wi-Fi networks as a secure extension of the cellular network, ensuring an automatic, encrypted, and completely transparent connection for the user.

Intelligent offloading without new infrastructure investments

The solution leverages existing Wi-Fi networks in indoor environments, avoiding new infrastructure investments.

Wi-Fi offloading and Wi-Fi Calling reduce the load on macrocells, improving overall network performance even for users who remain on the cellular network.

Security and service continuity without compromise

Passpoint delivers secure access through advanced protocols such as WPA3-Enterprise and EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, and EAP-AKA authentication.

The security level is equivalent to that of mobile networks, ensuring service continuity and data protection.

Control and data analysis in indoor environments

By extending the mobile network indoors, operators gain visibility into areas that were previously unmonitored.

The platform makes it possible to analyze user behavior, improve profiling, and optimize network performance.

A competitive advantage for MNOs and MVNOs

With LUMEN Carrier, you can:

  • Extend indoor 5G coverage without new CAPEX
  • Improve the user experience
  • Reduce network congestion
  • Increase perceived service quality
