- Arieso
Participated · Equity · Apr 2010
Arieso is a Newbury, UK-based wireless network optimisation provider. Its product portfolio enables mobile network operators to understand, in real-time, the service levels that individual customers are experiencing at specific locations. This information enables operators to optimise their networks, build infrastructure where it is needed and operate based on actual customer experience, reducing both opex and capex while improving service levels. The company highlights that energy consumption in mobile base stations is a significant proportion of operator opex and that its technology tackles this issue while improving service. Arieso says it has demonstrated dramatic service and cost improvements with a number of the world’s largest operators. The company also operates offices in Atlanta and Hong Kong.
