Mobile networks are expanding more rapidly now than ever before. There are several drivers for this network expansion. The number of mobile subscribers worldwide continues to increase, with many countries over 100% penetration. The percentage of mobile subscribers using mobile broadband data is increasing, primarily due to the popularity of smartphones. And the volume of data traffic per subscriber is increasing, enabled by the higher data rates offered by 3.5G and 4G technologies. Meanwhile, operators are also upgrading their network infrastructure to support the capabilities of these 3.5G and 4G technologies and replacing existing infrastructure with new platforms that support multiple technologies and provide flexibility for future network evolution. Faced with rising operating costs, declining ARPU, and a need to invest in next-generation networks, operators are looking for optimization solutions to make their networks more efficient. This report describes the tools and technologies used for mobile network optimization, the current trends, and future directions. It also looks at the companies that provide mobile network optimization solutions. In addition to the major network equipment vendors and the traditional optimization tool vendors, there are many start-up companies offering new technologies for optimization of mobile broadband data. There are also managed services providers who offer optimization as part of their service solutions. The company and product information in this report will be valuable information for mobile network operators who buy optimization solutions as well as the vendors who sell optimization products and services.
