How
many times have you compared the performance of commodity products and were
disappointed with the results? Shouldn't all products perform on the same level
regardless of their origin? Do all LCD TV
screens have the same visual quality (although they are most probably
manufactured in China)?
The
same applies to LTE networks around the globe.
A recent research by OpenSignal, a crowd-sourced coverage mapping start up funded by Qualcomm Ventures, O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures &Passion Capital, published some interesting statistics about the actual speed and performance of LTE networks by country and network.
It is true that users cannot just ‘relocate’ to another country for a better user experience, but they definitely can switch to the best performing mobile operator within their country – and they do. Regulators are helping end users by conducting “beauty contests” to compare network speed between the various networks.
In
order to avoid churn and succeed in these “beauty contests” mobile operators
have started realizing the advantages of advanced optimization solutions to
dramatically speed up their LTE networks.
Flash Networks, the global optimization leader, owns several patented
technologies, such as TCP+, which is already implemented and proven to boost
LTE network speed by over 50% and rank their respective operators as 1st
in their country.
On
second thoughts “All men are created equal”, but both LTE Networks and
definitely
optimizations solutions are not…
