Windows 10 Mobile, is how Microsoft will bypass operators for updates

A new validation process of the build as soon as telephone operators have updates in shorter timeframes than ever before.

On smartphones with Windows Phone updates, it has been fairly regular in recent times but, unfortunately, users have had to wait longer than necessary for the validation procedures and customization by mobile operators. So far to have a crucial role in the roll-out final were the carrier, a factor that has dwelt on the timing of distribution of the update packages.

This will change with Windows 10 Mobile. To date, the procedures provided for the preliminary release of the update to telephone carriers so that they could carry, before the official release, some specific tests on the build. It occurred mainly compatibility with their network infrastructure and if updates behaved any battery drain or dropouts due to changes in the radio module.

It is of course of procedures that may prolong the release time also of several weeks, sometimes even months, and there have been rare cases where some updates have not been distributed to the general public for similar reasons. To solve the problem Microsoft has decided to remove the ” radio stack “, or management software modem device, the core part of the operating system.

In this way, the telephone operators will test the new build exclusively when changes are made to the management software of the modem, but will still have a role in the validation process of the build that will still be much shorter than in the past. The last ” long ” waiting to be for the Update from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile, which is to use once again the old validation procedure.
