[October 01, 2008] Bytemobile Offers WebGate Service Tweet (Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Bytemobile, a provider of mobile internet solutions for network operators, announced the availability of its WebGate Service, which provides a single service control point within the network for all wireless data traffic. The company said the service enables operators to deliver new data services and applications to their customers while controlling data flow through intelligent service selection. Bytemobile stated that WebGate Service is the first mobile internet gateway product capable of managing all traffic types. Positioned in the core data path of the network, the product analyzes and processes traffic at the application level. For example, operators can control the quality of video downloads to differentiate service between premium plan and standard plan subscribers. WebGate Service is available with the new release of Bytemobile's Unison Mobile Internet Platform, which has the capacity to handle over twice the volume of data traffic as the previous version. Other features of the new release include acceleration of web page downloads on smartphones, including Apple's 3G iPhone. "WebGate Service enables our customers to launch customized data services, including intelligent pricing plans with adaptive enforcement of fair use policies," said Adrian Hall, Bytemobile chief marketing officer. "Our research indicates that 2 percent of mobile data users generate approximately 50 percent of data traffic. WebGate Service provides an effective gatekeeper, monitoring data usage and applying policy rules based on user profile, device type, traffic type, and other criteria to ensure fine control of service quality. "The new Unison platform offers operators unprecedented levels of scalability, while protecting their existing infrastructure investment, by further improving overall network efficiency through smart optimization. This is mission-critical when data traffic over tier-one networks is growing at 10-15 percent per month and rapidly consuming network capacity."
