StarHub Deploys Smartphone Signalling Solution from Huawei

­Singapore's StarHub says that it has deployed a Huawei supplied smartphone signaling platform that is designed to enhance network performance by reducing smartphone signalling traffic. The deployment follows the completion of tests on its HSPA+ network.

Smartphones have two distinct characteristics: "heartbeat" - applications that frequently send a small volume of data packets - and "pre fast dormancy" - a rapid change from active to idle mode. These characteristics create high signaling traffic, putting pressure on the mobile network, thus potentially slowing it down significantly.

Test results have shown that Huawei's solution optimises StarHub's smartphone mobile data service signaling process by reducing 56% of the redundant signalling loads as well as significantly enhancing smartphone performance and improving mobile broadband connectivity.

StarHub is currently progressively deploying the solution on its 3G network, with full implementation expected by year-end.

"As a pioneer in mobile broadband, we are dedicated to providing our customers with an enhanced mobile broadband experience. We adopted Huawei's solutions to solve smartphone signaling loads and improve end-user experience," said Mr Peter Cook, Vice President, Mobile Network Engineering, StarHub.
