Bytemobile's Unison Platform Expands Mobile Network Capacity by 50%

Bytemobile, a well-known provider of Smart Capacity solutions for carriers, has recently announced that it has improved its Unison Platform to extend mobile network capacity by 50%. The enhancement of the company's Smart Capacity platform will help operators increase their revenues and will allow better cost savings.

Dubbed Unison 6.0, Bytemobile's platform includes new optimization for streaming media services and High-Definition (HD) content to mobile devices.

According to the company's data trends analysis, video-based content will grow by 50 percent in 2011, accounting for more than 60 percent of network traffic.

Furthemore, it seems that personal video communications will be the key feature of the wireless network capacity, such that 10 percent of subscribers will consume 90 percent of total network traffic.

“Mobile operators are under significant financial pressure to address the rapid growth in mobile data traffic, which by all accounts is largely driven by video consumption. Upgrading existing 3G networks to HSPA+ or deploying a new LTE network will only temporarily address the capacity issue, while doing nothing to optimize the operators’ initial investments,” commented Michael Thelander, founder and chief executive officer of Signals Research Group, LLC.

“In order to accelerate revenue through new services and expand capacity to meet subscribers’ appetites for bandwidth-intensive applications, operators need unique solutions such as Bytemobile's Smart Capacity Platform,” added Thelander.

Some of the new features of the Unison 6.0 include:

- Streaming policy control for all major audio and video services;
- High-Definition (HD) optimization for a quality mobile HD video viewing experience;
- Video caching with adaptive optimization to balance network performance across viral and long-tail video content, resulting in faster download times and significant bandwidth utilization improvements.

Further information and details about Unison 6.0 platform will be available at Bytemobile's booth at Mobile World Congress, February 14-17 in Barcelona.

Starting February 14, we will be there to keep you up to date with live reports on the latest product launches and presentations.
