Indoor Data Performance
HSPA or EV-DO, the only mobile data network solutions worth caring about are those that your customers never need to.
The best thing subscribers can say about a wireless data network is that they hardly notice it. That they’re always connected. That performance seems reliable and files download faster than they can sip coffee. If you already get this kind of performance from your network and enjoy this kind of relationship with your customers, congratulations. If not, take heart. You’ve found your way to the right page of the right web site.
The New Handset Mindset
Indoors, why care about handset data performance? Won’t people just get on their PCs?
Not really. At last count more than 3 billion people worldwide were using mobile phones, with a significant portion of them 3G-enabled. All have highly personal connections with their handsets. And each personal device reflects its owner’s identity.
Maybe it’s the address book on the mobile. Or the pictures of the kids. Or maybe the kids are the users, and they like watching YouTube while walking around the house.
The fact is, with a 3G or better connection mobile handsets become powerful multimedia platforms. Consumers can buy music online, download podcasts, make high-quality video calls, upload photos over the air, and do much much more — whenever and wherever the urge strikes.
Significantly, operators typically see annual revenues increase once handsets start being used for data services. Customer pull and retention increase too, in line with the richness of users’ online experiences.
