MTS to deploy data optimisation across entire network
21 November 2011
Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) has said it will reduce its mobile network data transmission load by almost 40%, and its transit load by 30%, as a result of implementing optimisation technology from Flash Networks. The Russian operator said it will deploy Flash Networks’ Harmony Mobile Internet Services Gateway across its entire Russian footprint by the end of 2011, using the technology to "optimise" up to 90% of its mobile internet traffic.
Harmony compresses and controls the flow of picture, video, and other mobile data in order to reduce mobile network traffic load. MTS launched a pilot project to test the technology for all customers in Murmansk. The solution is being deployed in MTS’ network together with the Russian system integrator Technoserv.
“The solution introduced by MTS will provide our customers with faster and more convenient internet access as the up-to-date text and multimedia compression technology applied by Flash Networks optimises data in a way practically imperceptible to the human eye,” said Sergei Stepanyuk, Head of Data Transmission Department at MTS. “Using the data optimisation platform allows us to reduce our mobile network data transmission load by almost 40% and our transit load by 30%, ultimately resulting in faster Internet speeds and better quality of data services for our users.”
"We are pleased to offer MTS the most advanced solution for managing traffic while providing mobile internet services. Harmony enables MTS to optimize up to 90% of its mobile internet traffic, including web and video applications, and to provide complete data services to its subscribers,” said Merav Bahat, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Flash Networks."
