FlexiFone: Improving Mobile Network Coverage across the UK

FlexiFone旨在通过提供多网络移动服务来提高整个英国的移动网络覆盖范围。客户可以同时连接到EE、O2、Vodafone&Three，并可以根据他们所在位置具有最佳覆盖范围的运营商自动切换。这是通过提供软件(应用程序)和硬件解决方案实现的。整个解决方案由eSIMs提供支持，这意味着客户只需下载应用程序，就可以在60秒内连接到我们的服务。该解决方案有可能减少人口稠密的市中心、农村以及火车和高速公路上行驶的车辆的无人点并提高网络覆盖率。这项技术背后的工作原理是蜂窝绑定和蜂窝交换，其中多个信道被绑定(组合)在一起以提高覆盖。在一个网络信号或带宽较差的情况下，互联网流量(或数据分组)在毫秒内立即在其他网络上路由，而不会出现互联网连接中断。您可以想象一下，乘坐火车旅行，在VOIP通话或流媒体传输期间不会出现连接中断的情况。该项目将直接有助于实现电信行业的净零，因为FlexiFone将在不需要部署任何额外电信基础设施的情况下提高移动网络覆盖，从而节省成本、能源和时间。特别是在农村地区和乡村，可以使用各种移动网络运营商部署的现有基础设施。蜂窝绑定和蜂窝交换技术几十年来一直用于企业应用，如来自远程位置的视频流和物联网，但FlexiFone的目标是通过使其更容易访问和负担得起来将其带给最终消费者。

FlexiFone aims to improve mobile network coverage across the UK by offering a multi-network mobile service. Customers can simultaneously connect to and can automatically switch between EE, O2, Vodafone & Three, based on the operator with the best coverage in their location. This is achieved by offering a software (app) and a hardware solution. The entire solution is powered by eSIMs which means that customers can get connected to our service within 60 seconds by just downloading the app.The solution has the potential to reduce no-spots and improve network coverage in dense city centers, countryside, and in trains and moving vehicles on the motorway. The principle of working behind this technology is Cellular Bonding and Cellular Switching, where multiple channels are bonded (combined) together to improve coverage. In the event of one network having poor signal or bandwidth, the internet traffic (or data packets) are routed over the other networks instantly within milliseconds, with no internet connectivity drops. You can imagine traveling in a train and experiencing no drop in connectivity during VOIP calls or streaming.The project will directly contribute to delivering net-zero in telecoms, as FlexiFone would improve mobile network coverage without the need to deploy any additional telecom infrastructure, thus saving cost, energy and time. Especially in rural areas and the countryisde, the existing infrastructure that has been deployed by various mobile network operators can be used.Cellular bonding and Cellular switching technologies have been used for decades in enterprise applications like video streaming from remote locations and IoT, but FlexiFone aims to bring this to the end consumer by making it more accessable and affordable.
