Vodafone Malta has been confirmed as being the operator with the quickest web browsing performance, the fastest file download performance and the fastest file upload among all mobile radio networks in Malta. This certification was provided through an independent study conducted by German company P3 Communications GmbH. Vodafone was also certified as having the best speech quality of voice service on the islands.
The performance benchmark measurement campaign was carried out by P3 Communications, one of Europe’s leading providers of radio network testing, independent measurements and audits of service quality. These tests were carried out between 9 - 17 November 2010 in Malta and Gozo in all major localities and on the connecting roads as drive tests and outdoor stationary tests.
Vodafone Malta was awarded with four P3 certifications, declaring Vodafone as having fastest web browsing, fastest file download, quickest file upload and best speech quality of voice service. This certification confirms that Vodafone’s highest-grade, efficient and reliable network is the best on the market and that customers who are at the core of the Company’s operations are factually enjoying the fastest experience of mobile internet among all networks in Malta.
“We are extremely satisfied with these results,” said Ing. Sandro Pisani, Head of Technology at Vodafone Malta. “Our investment in high-speed mobile broadband network has translated into best-in-class results which confirm our commitment to give great value to our customers.”
Last year, Vodafone Malta, together with its technology partner Nokia Siemens Networks, completed the upgrading of its radio network and introduced HSDPA and HSUPA technology – an investment of €12 million in high-speed mobile broadband network that is also environment-friendly.
“These independent results are testimony to the strategic work our hardworking team is doing and to the great importance we give to anticipate customer wants and needs based on rapidly changing trends. Access to data on smartphones has now become a staple need and the expectations of our client-base for an efficient service are being met. Our customers can call, read and write emails, browse the web, download files and check Facebook on their mobiles without any network hassles”, continued Ing. Pisani. “These certifications are but one instance where Vodafone’s slogan ‘Power to You’ is translated into tangible results and experiences.”
