Case Study: ETB Colombia achieves consistent LTE data coverage with Alepo Wi‑Fi offload solution

ETB Colombia Offloads LTE Subscribers to WiFi To Provide Consistent Data Coverage

ETB Colombia, the country’s leading communications service provider, needed a way to deliver consistent high-speed data coverage for LTE subscribers despite limited LTE network coverage. To address this challenge, ETB partnered with Alepo and looked to a carrier-grade Wi‑Fi offload solution built on Alepo’s existing AAA infrastructure, with secure SIM-based authentication and integration into its mobile and Wi‑Fi core network.

Alepo deployed a multi-site Wi‑Fi hotspot network in under two months using its 3GPP Carrier-Grade AAA, EAP module, and EMS Portal, integrated with third-party HSS and T-GW systems. The solution improved coverage and customer experience, helped prevent churn, and increased Wi‑Fi data consumption from less than 1GB to 16GB per month, while offloaded mobile sessions rose from 0% to 5% of subscribers within a month of launch.
