Indonesia’s Telkomsel is the first carrier to deploy a mobile cloud accelerator (MCA) solution from Ericsson and Akamai in its live network. The implementation enables selected mobile users reduce page load times by as much as 70 percent – thereby providing a better and more consistent user experience.
Ericsson is positioning MCA as a means for operators to monetize over-the-top (OTT) traffic. Content providers also gain a way of improving quality of experience, conversion rates and brand perception.
Mobile penetration in Indonesia has increased rapidly in recent years. Telkomsel as the largest mobile operator has recorded more than 107 million customers.
