Continual confirms contract for Mobility Experience Analytics expansion in Ireland

Continual, a leading provider of Connected Car and subscriber Mobility Experience Analytics, today announced that Vodafone Ireland is expanding the use of Continual's analytics to deliver excellent mobility Quality of Service (QoS) and Connected Car experience across Ireland's entire national road system.

Extending the scope of their previously-announced collaboration, Continual's Mobility Experience Analytics has now been deployed across the whole of Vodafone Ireland's network, where it is monitoring and optimizing connectivity for cars, IoT devices, and handsets in mobility. Vodafone's radio network engineering teams are using the solution to manage all its radio network technologies.

Vodafone Ireland has already been reaping the benefits of the Continual solution, having used it to optimize network experience along the M1 motorway north of Dublin, Ireland's main center of economic growth.

"Vodafone Ireland places a high value on the performance of its mobile network along roads and motorways, and our decision to expand our use of Continual's solution will reinforce our strategy to maintain leadership in the Irish market," said Didier Clavero, CTO of Vodafone Ireland. "We are also utilizing the solution to plan the efficient usage of spectrum."

"This extension of our deal with Vodafone Ireland is a testimonial to the trust that mobile operators continue to have in our technology, and in the unique value it offers them in their journey to lead the field in Connected Mobility," said Greg (Giora) Snipper, CEO of Continual. "Our enhanced business relationship builds on more than three years of extensive collaborative research into the application of advanced network data analytics for mobility use cases, including the use of crowd and commuter analytics."
