TCP Optimization for Mobile Operators
More capacity from the network you already have. Without touching a single handset.
What it is
Why a fast network still feels slow at peak hours.
Most traffic runs over TCP, and TCP only learns about congestion once packets are already queuing or being dropped. At peak hours, big downloads and updates fill the queues, so a video call or a game waits in the same line as a software update. The subscriber experiences a slow connection, even though on paper the link still has capacity.
Our TCP optimisation layer sits in the traffic path, as software. It keeps queues short, paces the heavy flows and gives real-time traffic the front of the line, so the same link serves more users with a better experience. No client software, no handset changes, no router swap at the subscriber's home.

What it does
Four capabilities, one faster network.
Four pieces work together. TCP tuning keeps transfers moving, active queue management stops delay from building up, the automatic controller adapts to the link as conditions change, and DPI recognises each application so it can be treated accordingly.
Short queues
Keeps delay low even at full load.

Self-tuning
Learns the link and corrects in real time.
App-aware priority
Calls and games first, updates can wait.
Latency under load
The score your customers see.
Bufferbloat is the extra delay you feel when a link is busy: a call stutters while someone downloads a file. Public bufferbloat tests turn it into a letter grade, and it is one of the clearest ways to see what the optimisation does.

Capacity
More subscribers per access point.
When traffic is shaped by application and by where it sits in the network, a congested access point or port can carry more subscribers before anyone notices a slowdown. That means growing without an immediate upgrade, and less pressure on upstream and backhaul.
- No extra network spend
- Lower upstream and backhaul cost
- The same quality for every subscriber

Visibility
See where your network congests, as it happens.
Because the layer sees every flow, it also shows you what is happening: which access points are close to congestion, which applications are using the link and which subscriber is having the worst time. Support can start from facts instead of guesswork.

Use cases
Where it makes the difference.
The same technology adapts to the type of network. These are the scenarios where congestion shows up first.
Wireless ISPs
Situation
Dozens of users share each access point, and the evening peak turns video calls into stutter.
What changes
Traffic is shaped per access point and per application: calls stay clear and each point carries more subscribers.
Fibre networks
Situation
A busy OLT port saturates long before the fibre is full.
What changes
Shaping by network topology keeps ports out of congestion, so each one serves more customers.
Mobile operators and MVNOs
Situation
Busy cells and expensive backhaul at peak hours.
What changes
Heavy flows are paced and real-time traffic goes first, which defers the next capacity upgrade.
Remote and satellite links
Situation
Long delays and scarce bandwidth make standard TCP slow.
What changes
TCP tuning and queue control make better use of every megabit on the link.
