T-Mobile Slovakia Deploys Flash's NettGain to Improve Mobile QoE

Herzelia, Israel, October 18th, 2006 – Flash Networks, the world leader in mobile data Quality of Experience (QoE) management solutions, today announced that T-Mobile Slovakia has chosen Flash Networks’ NettGainTM solution for its data optimization service. T-Mobile Slovakia is using NettGain to dynamically optimize the data transfer to end users, ensuring the best user experience over all T-Mobile Slovakia bearers, including HSDPA. The NettGain solution assesses the type of network used at the time of the data transfer and dynamically adjusts the optimization accordingly, creating a consistent and responsive browsing experience that compares with that obtained when using a landline DSL.

NettGain works over a wide range of bearers, including GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, as well as today's fastest network, HSDPA and slashes download times by up to 7 times compared to mobile Web surfing without an optimization solution. The NettGain platform for web, WAP and Video Streaming optimization seamlessly handles mobile phone, handheld computers, PDAs, and other mobile-enabled devices, including PC wireless data cards.

Liam Galin, CEO of Flash Networks, said, “The NettGain system provides the most cost-effective way to improve the user experience and boost available bandwidth for all carriers offering mobile data services. Users expect the actual HSDPA experience to live up to the hype, and only by managing the quality of experience can operators ensure that subscribers’ expectations are met.”
In addition to accelerating the rate at which users download Web pages and e-mail, the NettGain platform is aware of the status of user sessions, and if transmission is lost, the download (of a file or an email) resumes exactly where it had left off. This unique feature saves subscribers considerable time and frustration, and helps reduce subscriber churn.

More than 40 operators around the world have chosen Flash Networks' NettGain platform as their QoE enhancement and optimization solution. Flash Networks' customer includes the T-Mobile group, Vodafone Italy, SFR, Alltel, Chunghwa Telecom and many more.
