T-Mobile guarantees network coverage with the Lyfo.NET solution

T-Mobile has partnered with software company Lyfo to exclusively distribute Lyfo.NET in the Netherlands.

Under the agreement, Lyfo.NET will become a permanent part of T-Mobile’s services. It will target mobile users in specific groups such as the police, ambulance, and fire department.

Lyfo.NET will also be available for the public sector as well as private customers with mission-critical communication needs.

T-Mobile also offers the solution for users who often operate in the less optimally covered areas of the Netherlands, such as around land borders, on open waters, or in natural areas.

All networks around the world
Thanks to Lyfo.NET, T-Mobile’s connection and services are automatically switched between all available mobile networks. A (second) SIM card with roaming gives access to all mobile networks in the world.

While the customer’s smartphone remains primarily connected to T-Mobile’s network or to an affiliate roaming network abroad, Lyfo.NET scans all other available networks for both SIM cards.

It constantly calculates the best primary and backup connection without using much battery during the process.

Automatically a good connection
When the user’s primary connection drops below a certain agreed quality level, Lyfo.NET immediately turns on the backup connection on the smartphone and connects within 100 milliseconds to the best alternative network available at that time via the Lyfo.SIM.

When needed and applicable, the connection also switches back automatically. This keeps the usage costs under control, as not all data traffic in the Netherlands is permanently controlled by roaming.

“The T-Mobile network coupled with Lyfo.NET is essential when it comes to life-threatening situations. This cooperation is so important for providing our customers, who operate precisely in these situations and depend on maximum availability of mobile services, with optimal coverage always and everywhere,” said T-Mobile chief customer officer business Léon Toet.

“To their credit, T-Mobile is always looking for new ways to continually improve connectivity requirements and meet innovative customer demands. We are now working together to both improve the product and insert Lyfo.NET into the T-Mobile Enterprise portfolio so T- Mobile business customers can benefit from the addition of our service,” said Lyfo.NET CEO Maurits Zandbergen.

ENABLE HYBRID CLOUD & REDUCE NETWORK LATENCY WHITEPAPER

Hybrid cloud promises to bring together the best of both worlds enabling businesses to combine the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the cloud with the performance and control that you can get from your on-premise infrastructure.

Reducing WAN latency is one of the biggest issues with hybrid cloud performance. Taking advantage of compression and data deduplication can reduce your network latency.

Research firm, Markets and Markets, predicted that the hybrid cloud market size is expected to grow from US$38.27 billion in 2017 to US$97.64 billion by 2023.

Colocation facilities provide many of the benefits of having your servers in the cloud while still maintaining physical control of your systems.

Cloud adjacency provided by colocation facilities can enable you to leverage their low latency high bandwidth connections to the cloud as well as providing a solid connection back to your on-premises corporate network.
