Movistar has announced the launch of a new service for gamers and it comes under the name “Gaming Boost”. As the name already indicates, the goal is to improve the gaming experience in those games that place a great importance on the Internet connection. These games can be PUBG or Call of Duty.
According to the company, through the “My Movistar” application, users can activate Sports Boost. Essentially, the company promises that when activated, users will have priority access to 5G networks. This means increasing access speeds and reducing latency, which is important for online gaming.
“You can enhance your gaming experience with Gaming Boost. More speed, less latency, better response. Activate Boost for 120 characters and get ready to go to the next level of gaming”, it is indicated from the application of the company itself.
Movistar’s “Gaming Boost” is not a “free” option
As the company mentions, to activate this technology, 120 tokens are required. Although they cannot be purchased directly, more money is obtained by investing in the platform, such as renting first-run movies or performing specific activities requested by Movistar. Such as talking with your virtual assistant “Aura”, identifying yourself in stores with a QR code “among other ways”. Nothing is indicated on the Movistar website about the number of tickets received, so we do not know if it is easy to accumulate 120 tickets or not.
At worst, these 120 signals do not activate the infinite Gaming Boost, all connected with the very short use of this technology. Through Bandaancha’s images, we know that the exchange rate only accelerates for a period of 10 minutes. This has little to do with the game, because it’s rare for anyone to play, and a game session lasts less than 10 minutes. The company provides other examples of using these standards. For example: for unlimited data vouchers can be redeemed for 48 hours.
Returning to the matter in question, when activated, the invention will access the optimized 5G network that will prioritize the connection to the games or the game to pass the services of the Xbox Game itself. Thus, it is not understood that 10 minutes is offered to access games from the cloud. From this we can think that if you want to extend the time into the future, it would be necessary to increase.
“Turbo Mode” is a new way to facilitate investment in 5G.
It was Ericsson that showed operators new ways to make their investments in new 5G network infrastructure profitable. One of these ways is Turbo Mode, which can be the perfect statement for millions of young people around the world, as they ask their parents to pay extra for access to this premium connection focused on sports.
Who has the sense that the signs of an apology are simple to serve and gather proof of information. As a result, it is expected that Movistar, if it works, will be able to launch some service with the technology in the future. This will only happen to users who only use their mobile devices to play online or in the cloud. You could also think of something similar in professional marketing. This would guarantee no connection failure or lag during videoconferences or broadcasts of any kind.
