It’s hard to believe that this year’s MWC is just a few weeks away! If you plan on attending this year we encourage you to stop by our Pavilion on the Main Avenue at AV41 as you enter or exit the show.
There are many topics trending this year: everything from connected devices to mobile cloud services and beyond, but the growth in mobile data and the impeding network restraints facing operators is sure to be a hot topic. After all, wireless networks are under siege!
Millions of smartphone users and mobile apps place an unprecedented demand on carriers’ networks. In 2011, bandwidth was the focus; in 2012, network signaling emerges as the other big challenge. In January, NTT Docomo’s CEO allocated half of the company’s earnings call to the issue of network signaling and announced major investments to eliminate networking congestion due to signaling overload.
Increasing capacity and spectrum will help, but SEVEN strongly believes that a complete solution has to include the optimization of mobile apps and the elimination of apps’ chattiness. This is why we introduced SEVEN Open Channel™ last year, our 2011 GSMA award winning product that has already proven to reduce signaling by up to 40 percent.
Contact us at info@seven.com to schedule a meeting at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February 27th– March 1st 2012! At the event, we will also show a live demo of Ping, our network efficient mobile app for social messaging, chat and more.
We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!
