There has been much focus and discussion concerning data off-loading and the associated use of Wi-Fi to achieve this. The use of Wi-Fi is resulting in significant spectrum and network savings for operators and has proven to be a valuable addition to the network deployment toolkit.

Conversely, where Wi-Fi is not an option, the operator has no alternative but to provision the backhaul network to its maximum capacity in order to support user requested content, even if there is no revenue generated for carrying that content.

For the past 10 years, Altobridge has focused on backhaul capacity reduction through optimising RAN message content between the base station and the base station control elements. These systems are deployable and measurable today. Now, in a further innovative breakthrough, Altobridge has developed the ability to manage content delivered to the mobile user in a seamless, business controlled way for mobile operators.
