White Space Innovation
Bytemobile continues to innovate so that its customers continue to succeed.
Bytemobile executed the first commercial network deployment of dynamic optimization technology at Vodafone UK in 2001. Ever since then, we have led the industry in technological innovation directed exclusively at the wireless operator delivering mobile data to consumers.
Building on web optimization and gateway traffic control, we created the first in-line platform for the integration and deployment of multiple data services in a single network node.
On this platform, we added video optimization and delivered web, Flash and multimedia content adaptation for all handsets — bringing the PC experience to the smartphone and the smartphone experience to the feature phone.
We enhanced content adaptation with mobile advertising and widget application management to monetize and personalize web browsing — with the support of user analytics that leverage our network position and traffic visibility.
As data traffic grows and consumer expectations rise, these applications enable operators to manage their changing network loads and offer new services that enrich the individual user experience and increase mobile data adoption.
Bytemobile’s history of innovation has built a portfolio of dozens of U.S. and international patents, with dozens more pending.
Ongoing R&D Investment
Far be it from us to rest on our laurels. We continue to invest 20-25% of our annual revenue in product development. In addition, we commit at least 10% of our total R&D budget to research that fuels new ideas and drives them to commercialization.
For example, in response to the escalating cost of hardware requirements for scalability to support traffic growth, we increased the throughput capacity of our Unison™ Mobile Internet Platform by a factor of 10. This effectively reduced hardware, power, cooling, and rack space costs by a comparable factor — enabling operators to contain capital expenditures and operating expenses while scaling their data services in a sustainable network environment.
Today, innovation continues to push the boundaries of our business as we explore and develop the “white space” around the emerging mobile internet landscape. We leave the development of “me too” products to others.
Our agenda is not only to respond to rapidly changing market requirements, but also to anticipate customer challenges and opportunities — even before the customer is aware of them. Only then can we create and deliver visionary solutions that impact everything from operators’ profitability to paradigm shifts in the mobile ecosystem.
Our global R&D team is strategically located in technology and academic centers such as Patras, Greece; Beijing, China; Champaign, Illinois; and California’s Silicon Valley. This team is joined by a systems integration team that provides custom solutions and simplifies complex deployments as a single-source prime contractor.
For Bytemobile and its worldwide customer base, the future is here — now.
