Link + : Wifi + / Signal + / Roaming +

User communication experience is one of the key to a good Smartphone Product. Users always wish to be connected to their loved ones either by voice of data and expect an enriched communication experience from their Smartphone.

Huawei a strong technology player in telecom network 3G/4G, with accumulated years of expertise in network design, Honor 7 brigs an intelligent feature called Link+ which enriches communication experience for users. This advanced intelligent feature identifies and switches the devices to best network time and network cell so that the user can get optimized data speeds and interrupt free single for their communication
Link+ is three Key
·        WIFI+ Provides a smart network switch between WIFI and data network automatically to prove best data speeds. Mostly importantly with Wi-Fi+ , even if Wi-Fi settings is off, the Wi-Fi setting will get turned on and connect to known Wi-Fi connection.
·        Signal+ provide smart connectivity to the best network cell available in the location, with an intelligent and fast cell switching technology
·        Roaming+, Similar to the Single plus Roaming+ provide an intelligent and fast cell switching during roaming.

Wi-Fi+
This features assists user by automatically selecting the best among available mobile data and Wi-Fi networks for smoother internet experience. In other words, the devices checks if Wi-Fi connection is good or Mobile data provides better data connectivity to user. For example, if Wi-Fi connection is poor, then it automatically switches back to Mobile data and vice-versa.

The following image shows switch to mobile data even when the WIFI is available because of its poor quality

Figure 1 indicating the switch back to data
If user navigates to Wi-Fi settings page, poor connection prompt will be shown in the above case.
Figure 2 Indicating poor Wi-Fi
To get this advantageous of Wi-Fi+, user need to turn on this option in Wi-Fi settings.

When device comes into the range of known Wi-Fi connection, device will connect to Wi-Fi automatically as per base android behavior.Mostly importantly with Wi-Fi+ , even if Wi-Fi settings is off, the Wi-Fi setting will get turned on and connect to known Wi-Fi connection.

If the Wi-Fi connection is not providing internet service, then user will be prompted if the connection still needs to be continued.
Furthermore, if the Wi-Fi connection is detected as poor then device will not reconnect back to Wi-Fi and will continue only mobile until the wifi data connectivity is good.

Signal+
Signal+ is available in the phone by default; there is no need of user intervention in the operation. Signal+ helps user to get best network by switching between different signal transmitters in the network and thus, assisting in better network experience on phone.
Figure 5 Indicating Signal+ usage at low coverage areas
There is several use cases where in Signal+ will serve as an aid to user.

Example: when user is at a low coverage region of a cell; Signal+ will check the coverage of other cells and switch automatically and quickly. Also when moving at high speeds say in a train or cars, Signal+ will switch intelligently among different cells to provide continuity in voice call and data services.  Definitely, a par in network performance compared to non- Signal+ devices.

Roaming+
Similar to Signal+, Roaming + as well do not need any user intervention. On arriving in a roaming region, Roaming+ searches and finds the best and suitable roaming network cell and gets connect for seamless user experience
