Software Designed To Revolutionize The Cellular Industry
Yep, that's what we said. And sure, it's a mighty goal – but our software aims to do nothing less than revolutionize the cellular industry for both carriers and their customers.
M87 software flips the traditional network's power structure upside down – shifting network intelligence to the mobile device – empowering your smartphone to always seek the connection speed it needs.
In doing so, M87 software not only benefits the end user but it dramatically expands network capacity without the need for additional infrastructure. In fact, M87 software works within all existing network types, allowing carriers to get the most out of their current infrastructure investments.
Radical? Yes. But given that data usage is predicted to increase by a factor of 12 by 2017, it's time to re-think the way the modern network works. That's just what we've done at M87.
M87’s Routing at the Edge™ (RATE) technology improves the performance of data networks by moving routing intelligence and network selection decisions to the device, which is most aware of real-time connectivity conditions.
Our initial product, Client SON™, unlocks the tremendous latent capacity in existing mobile devices by adding them to the network infrastructure – creating a carrier-grade device to device network that increases both coverage and capacity without sacrificing security or billing accuracy.
Research and Intellectual Property
World-class products are often born from world-class research. M87 software was built on technology developed in the ECE department at the University of Texas at Austin.
