IP bearer management services address network inefficiencies on the wireless link created by the TCP protocol and the growing uplink traffic and provides an excellent way of managing device and network resources to support optimal performance, QoS and network efficiencies. By prioritizing and managing throughput by application, service, user, or network condition, it is able to maximize and enhance network resources utilization.

Ultimately this will improve user experiences and make mobile web browsing or video uploading or viewing a compelling service. Indeed, it will make some new services, such as real-time video messaging, a viable option. But IP bearer management does more than simply address a deficiency and challenge with the networks today. It presents an opportunity for operators to increase the sophistication of their marketing and sales of services by allowing services to be differentiated and sold with differentiated tariff structures. And Mobile IP QoS solutions ensure that operators can maintain service quality end-to-end for any next-generation IP service.
