Controlling network load capacities

Networks are being forced to play catch up with the mobile device manufacturing industry. Their networks are struggling to provide the level of service needed by the current line of mobile devices. Users now want to be able to call, send data, and transmit messages almost simultaneously without any breakage in service delivery. The biggest challenge to all of this has been the increased levels of data consumption by the consumer. The average network carrier is struggling to implement a better network infrastructure that can cater to the needs of the consumer. These mobile network solutions are being deployed in the back of a need to invest in long term solutions for the business user.

The records derived from monitoring data usage meter implemented by network carriers shows that the level of data consumption has reached an average level of 400mb on a monthly basis. There are now increasing data demands, which are driven by the increase in the processing power of the current set of devices. As an example, newer devices are capable of streaming videos from the internet. While the viewer is streaming the video, they still want to be able to receive normal communication and calls. This has called for innovation by the carrier networks.

The first innovation has been the implementation of diameter as the basis of the new network infrastructure. The diameter protocol is a better basis for network building because it increases the number of peer to peer connections that can be supported on the TCP/IP standard. In simpler terms, this type of network construction allows a larger number of people to connect to the network simultaneously. If you deploy a data usage meter on such a network, the results are as expected. There is increased flow of data from the network to the consumers.

There is little need for the carriers to reduce the applicable capacity the users have access to. The increase in the number of apps and services that are provided to mobile users over the internet outline the trend. The future of service provision in the mobile sector is enhanced data. People are now routing their messaging and calls through the internet instead over the traditional facility provided by carriers. The competition in voice and SMS markets has leveled out as there is little difference between the current crops of networks. The network that intends to carve a substantial market share for itself has to invest in mobile network solutions.
