    SKT expanding use of TANGO AI platform

    SK Telecom is expanding the use of its AI-assisted network operation system TANGO to all its telecommunications networks.

    The operator has already been using TANGO (the T advanced next generation operational supporting system) to help manage its fixed line network, and is now extending the application of the system to the mobile network.

    TANGO uses machine learning to automate the optimization of network operation based on network traffic information broken down by area and period.

    The system is also designed to enhance the accuracy of network management by measuring the quality of network operations delivered to customers, and incorporates virtualization capabilities to help mobile operators adopt new network capabilities including IoT and 5G.

    Last month, SK Telecom entered an agreement to provide the TANGO platform to India’s largest operator Bharti Airtel.

    “The AI-assisted network operation technology based on big data analytics will be essential in the 5G era,” SK Telecom SVP and head of network technology R&D Park Jin-hyo commented.

    “SK Telecom will continue to improve the functionality of TANGO aiming at providing the best-performing network for customers to enjoy.”

  • Tango users can now shop with AliExpress

    Tango users can now shop with AliExpress

    Users of the messaging app Tango can now shop online without leaving the app – after partnerships were struck with Alibaba’s AliExpress and Walmart.com.

    US-based Tango, which boats more than 300 million users, have launched “social shopping” on their message and chat platform allowing, they say, users to choose from millions of products sold by the two retailers online.

    “The company expects to expand shopping options over time to include additional retailers and geographies,” Tango said in a press statement.

    “Tango will offer curated lists of products based on user preferences, while also allowing them to create their own collections to share with family and friends.”

    Leo Shen, AliExpress GM, said Tango offers a way for consumers to access products on AliExpress “that are relevant to their preferences and lifestyles”.

    “We look forward to teaming up with Tango to provide consumers a great shopping experience wherever they go.”

    Tango CEO and co-founder Uri Raz says the move takes Tango beyond the realm of being just an messaging service.

    “Starting today, we’re leading the way in ‘conversational commerce,’ making it simple for consumers to connect with leading retailers using the same platform they rely on every day to chat with friends and family,” he said.

    “Tango is excited to collaborate with Walmart and AliExpress to revolutionise blending commerce and communication, creating a new and exciting experience for consumers and sellers alike.”

    Founded in 2009, TangoMe Inc is the developer of Tango, a free mobile messaging app whose users enjoy free video and voice calls, texting, social discovery, browsing and sharing content with one another.

    The company works with third-party game developers, brands, content publishers, and advertisers to provide distribution, integration opportunities, and advertising. Tango is cross-platform, operating over 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi, and is available in 15 languages in more than 224 countries.
