Match-Maker Ventures (MMV) announced today a collaboration with Netduma to help telecom operators and Internet Service Providers deliver stable, uninterrupted home connectivity Quality of Experience (QoE).
As households run video calls, streaming, gaming and downloads simultaneously, consistent application performance has become a key differentiator for operators and ISPs. Netduma addresses this with Netduma Optima, a software solution deployed over the air to existing CPE that combines real-time optimisation with continuous measurement of application performance. Running on the gateway, Optima not only stabilises traffic under load but also gives operators clear visibility into how applications performed when issues occurred – without requiring infrastructure upgrades.
Through this collaboration, MMV will support Netduma’s commercial acceleration with operators and ISPs globally – shaping positioning, engaging senior decision makers, and driving opportunities from initial discussions to deployments across fixed and FWA environments.
“Broadband is no longer judged by headline speeds, but by how reliably critical applications perform under real-world conditions. Netduma brings a rare combination of real-time optimisation and measurable QoE insight at the customer edge. That makes it highly relevant for operators and ISPs looking to differentiate beyond price and coverage – and we are excited to help scale that impact globally,” said Nicolai Schättgen, CEO of Match-Maker Ventures.
Luke Barlow, CEO of Netduma, added:“Operators win when customers simply stop noticing their internet – because everything just works. Delivering that consistently requires both real-time optimisation and clear visibility into how applications perform in the home. Our technology brings those together at the gateway. With Match-Maker Ventures, we are accelerating our global expansion, building on existing Tier 1 partnerships such as BT and Telstra and taking our proven QoE capabilities to operators worldwide.”
