I NTRODUCTION  Purple company is a cellular provider that in addition to voice services and SMS- offers its clients internet access.  The company users quantity is increasing and so is the demand to internet access which takes a toll from the network overload.  Our goal is to find a way to decrease network overload without effecting the clients or changing the network structure.

A SSUMPTIONS  Existing internet providers have unused bandwidth at the same time as our mobile company pick hours.  The developed “router” application will schedule the bandwidth sharing, without harming the private clients. 90 80 70 60 cellular 50 internet 40 30 20 10 0 00:00 04:48 09:36 14:24 19:12 00:00

O BJECTIVES  Purple’s clients will use bandwidth of private clients and business costumers of the internet provider, without any action from their part (neither purple’s nor provider’s clients).  Development of two software applications.  First – will be located on the smartphone and will manage the switching between the cellular internet and the WI-FI internet automatically based on an on-line database that will give us the best location to connect to.  Second – will be located on the home (or business) router and will manage to access the Purple application and the amount of bandwidth given to Purple.  The internet provider’s private clients will give their approval for the bandwidth sharing through the website agreement, and receive money per used Mbit but not more then a fix amount.

P ROVIDING COSTUMERS MOTIVATION  Earn money without doing anything.  No effort and no harm by his side.

T HE SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS R OUTER : Each router updates the database with provider’s data (BW capacity &  usage, availability, location, signal strength etc.). Privacy- keeping provider’s client network blocked to non -Purple  users. Billing.  U SER : Unnoticeable (no need for user intervention).  Application will always prefer the available wireless network, with  enough unused bandwidth, according to the user’s requirement. Connected to database, always finds the optimal networks to connect  to, based on location (internet ability, not high-power-consuming GPS). Allowing mobility- The time between each sample (networks selecting)  will be dependent on movement detector.
