Bytemobile, Inc., the leading provider of Smart Capacity™ solutions for mobile network operators, today announced that Revol Wireless has selected its integrated web and video gateway platform to improve network capacity for the delivery of video and internet content to its subscribers. Revol is an independent telecommunications service provider based in Independence, Ohio. All devices on the Revol Wireless network will benefit from the Bytemobile® Unison™ Smart Capacity platform deployed at the core of Revol’s all-digital network, including the launch of Google Android smartphones available to Revol subscribers in January 2011.
Video consumption on high-end smartphones is a major contributor to traffic congestion in wireless networks worldwide. On average, touchscreen smartphones generate more than 50 percent of the network’s total data traffic – and in 2011 video will account for more than 60 percent of that traffic.
“The Bytemobile Smart Capacity web and video optimization platform enables us to deliver a robust user experience on high-end smartphone devices, while enhancing the efficiency and scaling the capacity of our network,” said Scott Bergs, chief operating officer of Revol Wireless. “We are committed to providing an excellent mobile Internet experience to our customers and enabling them to fully utilize the capabilities of an ever-growing range of handsets and devices.”
As devices become smarter and able to handle more bandwidth hungry applications, mobile content and video-based communication will require wireless operators to improve their existing network resources.
“Revol Wireless demonstrates the value of adding Smart Capacity to its existing network,” said Bob Riccitelli, Bytemobile’s vice president and general manager of the Americas. “With our platform deployed at the core of its mobile network, Revol can control and manage increased data traffic when and where they need it. We are pleased that Revol has selected Bytemobile as its mobile capacity strategy partner.”
