Ericsson said App experience — the ability to complete transactions within a maximum time of three seconds — improved by between 20 and 70 percent. Time to content improved by up to 70 percent, while upload time improved by up to 50 percent.
Ameet Suri, partnerships manager at Facebook, said: “This methodology will help operators cost-effectively target network improvements in the areas that affect users most, thereby delivering greater utility for the two-thirds of the world not yet connected. Initially launched with XL Axiata, we are excited to expand the program to more operators who have expressed an interest.”
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2015), Ericsson will announce App Experience Optimization, a new service to assist telecom operators to optimize their networks to meet the demands of the app ecosystem. The service offers local app experience and correlate with network-related KPIs.
“With our more than 5,000 Network Design and Optimization experts and the insights we gather from countless customer projects, this new service offering will bring efficiency and competitive advantages to our customers,” said Staffan Pehrson, vice president of Network Rollout, Support & Optimization at Ericsson.
