today announced the successful deployment of its WeANDSF™ Wi-Fi
network management solution with Time Warner Cable’s TWC WiFi™ service,
completing the launch of a multi-year agreement. WeANDSF (which stands
for WeFi Enhanced Access Network Discovery and Selection Function) is
the industry’s most comprehensive network management solution for
wireless carrier mobile data offloading and cable MSO mobile Internet
onloading, assuring operators their end-users always use the best
possible wireless connection. The WeANDSF allows the cable giant to

“Working with one of the largest cable operators in North America,
considering its extensive evaluation of WeFi’s WeANDSF solution, is a
validation of the importance and breadth of our technology,” said Zur
Feldman, CEO of WeFi. “TWC recognized the importance of our
‘always-best-connected’ network management technology for their
end-users. As wireless broadband and faster mobile devices create
exponentially increasing demand for mobile data services, and fierce
competition for subscribers increases, the impact of the end user
experience on revenue cannot be overstated.”
“WeFi is providing TWC WiFi™ with the most complete and efficient
network management toolset we evaluated and their powerful Wi-Fi network
planning tool is giving us great insights on where best to deploy our
Wi-Fi hotspots,” said Mike Roudi, SVP Corporate Development, Time Warner

locations and conditions and gives TWC real-time feedback on the quality
of the Wi-Fi networks. This data is crucial for TWC WiFi to deliver the
best possible mobile Internet service.”
WeFi’s WeANDSF solution was first developed for mobile operators to
intelligently manage mobile device offloading from saturated mobile data
networks to available Wi-Fi networks. Adapted for cable operators to
manage the onloading of data traffic to their super-fast Wi-Fi services,
WeFi’s WeANDSF solution allows Time Warner Cable to set network
management policies and priorities. WeANDSF optimizes data traffic and
