Tweakker’s app to bring smartphone costs down

#

Tweakker’s newly patented that provides instant connectivity technology, opens the era of one global manufacturing market. If device manufacturers simply embedded its app into their handsets, they would no longer need to build different models with different network settings for different markets and networks. It would not matter what country you are in, or what network you are using, Tweakker’s unique connectivity technology instantly configures the APN settings on your smartphone from power-up.

If device manufacturers simply embedded its very own app into their mobile devices, they would not need to build different models with dissimilar network settings for different markets and networks, and this little fact alone would simplify the manufacturing and distribution process and drive down the cost of manufacture.

Currently, when smartphones are sent to distributors such as the Brightstar or Carphone Warehouse with the wrong network settings. APN (Access Point Names) – they will get returned. This means that additional engineering and distribution costs to smartphone manufacturers in sorting the problem. These persistent failure costs are then built into the cost of devices that eventually do pass distributor and mobile network operator tests. Hence the current high cost of a smartphone.

The good news for the consumer is this could be set to change. If all new devices including iPhones that operate on low cost service providers have Tweakker’s app embedded into them, then configuration failure costs would drop dramatically and quite conceivably cease to exist. It would not matter what country you are in, or what network you are using, Tweakker’s unique connectivity technology instantly configures the APN settings on your smartphone from power-up.

Therefore, manufacturers no longer have to worry about configuring different settings for different operators, as Tweakker would do this for them… automatically. This means one production line for a specific model for the world market — saving manufacturers millions of USD in the process and almost certainly driving down the price of the smartphone on the high street.

This also applies to bring-your-own-devices (BYOD) that are now beginning to flood the networks and the rapid development of virtual network operator networks (MVNOs) being hosted by network operators such as AT&T. If a smartphone is Tweakker-enabled, users will be able to connect to Facebook and Twitter or over-the-top services like Skype, Whatsapp or Viber hassle free from power up. Users will also never have to contact care centres again to configure network settings.

Tweakker’s unique technology took three years to develop and has already been tested by 1 million Android users, and more than 4 million connections have now been made via the app. Tweakker’s unique technology covers next generation devices to be used in the networks of 1,500 operators worldwide, provides over 4,000 unique APN settings and is available as a plug and play application.

Tweakker’s technology could become a standard connector of the Internet of all things where not only mobile phones need connectivity but also mobile objects such as the connected car and the connected body. These predominantly mobile machine-to-machine objects will need mobile data connectivity to be part of the Internet of Things.

So, is it time for smartphone manufacturers to embed Tweakker’s app and bring about the “one low-cost smartphone connected world?” Another 1 billion devices will hit the networks by end 2014.
