Facebook and Ericsson have created a new methodology to measure and improve end-to-end network performance. According to Ericsson, the network-wide optimization implemented through the joint project delivered up to 70 percent improvement in app coverage while time to content improved up to 70 percent and upload time improved up to 50 percent. Using the methodology, number of connections completed within three seconds improved up to 70 percent.

Ericsson said that this model for network performance improvement can be applied globally by mobile network operators. Facebook and Ericsson, in conjunction with XL Axiata, have created a new methodology to measure and improve end-to-end network performance using simulated Facebook application use cases. 

    • The findings were delivered by Facebook, Ericsson and XL Indonesia executives at the recent mobile efficiency Developer Workshop at an Internet.org event hosted by Facebook in Indonesia.

"As part of Internet.org's efforts to connect the two thirds of the world's population that is not yet connected, Facebook is committed to working with partners to develop innovative tools and share learnings across the industry. With the methodology set forth in this white paper, we have a model for improving network performance that can be applied globally by mobile network operators. This will help ensure we have more efficient use of existing network capacity and resources, which is key to delivering on our mission to close the connectivity gap."

-            Chris Daniels, Vice President, Internet.org, Facebook

"Mobility is transforming the way people live and the way businesses operate so Ericsson's vision of a Networked Society, where every person and every industry is empowered to reach their full potential, is very much in synch with the goals of Internet.org. Ericsson's latest joint project with Facebook, in cooperation with our customer XL Axiata, has raised the bar in terms of understanding, measuring and improving app coverage -- network performance from the user perspective."
