Vodafone & Nokia Bell Labs Slash Internet Lag by 94% in Live Trial
Vodafone and Nokia Bell Labs have successfully reduced internet latency on live customer lines, enhancing video conferencing and cloud gaming experiences. The trial, conducted on Vodafone Turkey's fibre broadband network, saw a significant drop in lag from 220 milliseconds to 4.7 milliseconds.
The trial utilised L4S (Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable throughput) technology, which manages data packets in network buffers to tackle queuing delays. This is a major cause of lag in online experiences. The result was a 94% reduction in lag, making interactive online activities smoother.
Vodafone's Chief Network Officer, Alberto Ripepi, praised the trial, stating it underscores Vodafone's commitment to innovation and improved service for European customers. Nokia's Vice-President for Fixed Networks Europe, Bjorn Capens, highlighted Nokia's dedication to innovating with leading operators to provide superior latency with minimal variation on end-to-end fibre and in-home Wi-Fi networks.
Vodafone will conduct further tests before considering a wider deployment of this technology across its European markets. L4S, being access-agnostic, can be used on both mobile and fixed networks, benefiting both consumer and enterprise services. This trial marks a significant step towards enhancing online experiences for Vodafone customers.
