Honolulu, HI—Mobi PCS has completed a $2 million upgrade to network hardware and key cell sites, increasing data speeds for both the company’s smartphone and Hele Wireless Broadband customers.

Among other hardware enhancements, Mobi replaced its data network core controller with a larger and faster model with higher capacity. While still ensuring data integrity and reliability, the new core controller supports faster speeds by managing critical network applications with a greater level of efficiency.

Mobi has also added to its network capacity at key cell sites to support localized upgrades.

As a result of the higher-capacity core controller and those enhancements at specific cell sites, Mobi smartphone and Hele Wireless Broadband customers will experience faster data speeds and even greater dependability throughout the company’s network, particularly in high-usage zones in areas like urban Honolulu (Hawaii Kai through Pearl City).

The local carrier is committed to aggressively adding new and enhancing existing cell sites, as well as improving hardware to optimize its statewide network. These network enhancements will augment system capacity and expand coverage to ensure a continued high rate of customer satisfaction.

“Quality network performance is key to customer satisfaction, and our company focus has always been on providing exemplary products and service,” explains Ed Kurzenski, Mobi PCS vice president and chief technical officer. “Our customers will experience faster data speeds while using their smartphones as well as their laptops with this significant upgrade.”

Even prior to recent network enhancements, an independent QMark Research survey revealed a 96 percent satisfaction rate among the company’s customers.
