Challenges
A high-quality connection is one of key factors that define the gaming experience. As more gamers play using cellular networks, delays in a real-time multiplayer gaming upset them and reduce the quantity of gaming sessions.

It is safe to assume that 1 in 3 gaming sessions over mobile connection are of sub-par quality.

Root-cause analysis shows that there are 2 major reasons for that (both hard to discover):
1. Systematic flaws in operators transport infrastructure which are not easily visible
2. Accidents that degrade gaming experience but are not easily discovered by technical team thus can last for weeks or month
Operators are fast to react
Without Vigo, accidents on Operator's side that negatively affect the quality of the game UX may last for months

  • On May 12, Operator carried out scheduled work on the transport backbone, which resulted in an accident affecting the gaming UX — the number and duration of lags during gaming sessions increased.
  • That accident was not visible through the regular Operator's monitoring.
  • On May 24, Vigo provided Operator with information about the accident and initiated the process of introducing new indicators into the Operators' business processes to control the quality of UX.
  • Operator investigated and eliminated the accident within 3 days.
