Optimizing Mobile Device Connectivity through Machine Learning - The New Stack

Imagine this: You're pulling out of your driveway, asking your phone to pull up navigation to your destination and just at that critical moment when you need to decide which way to turn, you look down at your phone and realize it's hanging. It can't find the destination, and it looks like it has no connection. This frustrating moment is an almost universal experience, but it's one Deutsche Telekom aims to eliminate for all of its customers in Europe and across the globe. As one of the world's top telecommunications providers, Deutsche Telekom and its subsidiaries, like T-Mobile in the United States, are using machine learning algorithms based on dynamic cloud infrastructure managed by Mesosphere DC/OS to dramatically improve the consumer experience when it comes to mobile connectivity. The Deutsche Telekom CONNECT app, now available on the Google Play and iOS App Store, launched this year to allow customers to optimize their connection based on cost or performance at any point in time.
