SoftBank Corp. ("SoftBank"), a leading mobile operator in Japan, has implemented an innovative method for radio access network design from Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC), based on machine intelligence. The service groups cells in clusters and takes statistics from cell overlapping and potential to use carrier aggregation between cells into account, thus reducing operational expenditure and improving network performance. Compared to traditional network design methods, it cut the lead time by 40 percent.

We are helping Zain Iraq improve its overall processes and delivery model and, by implementing a network operations center, improving network availability for the operator's customers and helping to train local resources.

We are working with Yoigo to understand customer experience on the service level, enabling the operator to gather information about their customers and how they perceive quality from service, terminal, website and geographical points of view. Going in this direction is a key strategic move that will help Yoigo to remain at the forefront of the industry.
