Company: Mobidia’s .wave™ (dot wave) provides operators with a revolutionary new software platform that enhances their mobile data networks. The software adds capacity to their existing wireless networks while speeding the delivery of data to their subscribers. .wave also provides a tool to obtain unique insights into subscriber’s usage activities.
Mobidia takes an innovative approach by using both software that resides on the subscribers’ smartphones or laptops and software that is installed in an operator’s core network. The software is connected and communicates via Mobidia’s powerful new wireless data solution, which also seamlessly interfaces with other vendors’ traffic management and policy solutions. Once deployed, it is fully transparent to subscribers' applications or services and the operators existing network infrastructure, and will even improve the performance of phones not running the Mobidia software.
Mobidia worked closely with the world’s leading mobile operators and solution providers to integrate .wave in their mobile networks and networking solutions in 2009 and is looking forward to an exciting 2010. Operators have been impressed with the performance data that Mobidia has generated recently in a number of tier 1 operator trials in Europe and Asia.

Mobidia’s solution makes subscribers happy by enabling a faster connections and mobile operators happy by increasing the effective capacity of the existing network..
