Telecom Lead Asia: PCCW mobile has selected Huawei’s
smartphone signaling optimization solution to enhance its network performance
and reduce 3GPP-R8 smartphone signaling traffic by over 25 percent.
Mobile broadband traffic has increased over the past few
years due to the increasing popularity of smartphones. The preponderance of
heartbeat applications that frequently transmit small data packets along with
smartphones’ frequent changes from active to idle mode create high signaling
traffic, put pressure on mobile networks and affect capacity and quality.
A joint effort between Huawei and PCCW mobile during the
past few months has delivered a solution that optimizes smartphone signaling
behavior.
Live network statistics have shown that the solution
reduces by over 25 percent of redundant signaling load from PCCW mobile’s
3GPP-R8 smartphone signaling process while significantly enhancing network
performance and improving mobile broadband connectivity.
“We really appreciate Huawei’s solution. Signaling
traffic produced by smartphones brings real pressure to networks. With this
smartphone signaling optimization solution, networks can bring customers a much
better experience,” said Adam Wong, head of Engineering, Wireless Business
of HKT.
“It took several months for Huawei and PCCW mobile
to finish the testing of our signaling solution on existing networks. The high
performance of this solution shows that Huawei is capable of innovation to help
customers succeed,” said Ying Weimin, president, GSM&UMTS<E
wireless networks, Huawei.
PCCW mobile has implemented the 3GPP-R8 smartphone
signaling optimization solution on its UMTS network. The solution will help
PCCW mobile manage the increasing volume of HSPA+/UMTS data traffic on its
network and deliver improved mobile broadband experience to its customers.
Huawei to invest more in European telecom markets
Huawei is framing strategies to strengthen its focus in
Europe. The Chinese telecom equipment maker identified Europe as one of the
important markets for future development. Huawei is planning to up its
investment in Europe and focus on establishing more partnerships with European
firms.
