Why Chronos


The Mobile Data Explosion

Mobile devices continue to dominate global internet traffic. As of mid-2025, mobile accounts for approximately 62–64% of all web traffic worldwide, demonstrating sustained year-on-year growth across every region.

Africa remains the world's most mobile-centric region, with approximately 79% of web traffic originating from mobile devices, a share that has grown by around 4% year on year. By comparison, North America sees approximately 57% mobile traffic, while Europe averages around 52%.

Prepare for Future Mobile Growth
Mobile internet usage is expected to continue growing rapidly as more people rely on smartphones and connected devices for everyday online activities.

This growth shows no sign of slowing—and for network operators, this means an ever-increasing volume of subscriber activity to log, store, and retain.

Built for Regulatory Compliance, Now and Into the Future
To comply with internet activity record-keeping legislation and manage rapidly growing data volumes, Pharos has developed Chronos, a specialised IP log management system for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) that:

  • Securely logs subscriber internet activity with tamper-proof records
  • Processes millions of records daily in near real time with extreme performance
  • Retains billions of cumulative records using highly space-efficient storage
  • Enables law enforcement agencies to quickly locate evidence of subscriber internet activity
  • Scales horizontally by adding servers to accommodate future data traffic growth
  • Slashes storage costs for massive subscriber activity archives
  • In summary, Chronos enables you to meet regulatory obligations confidently while preparing your infrastructure for continued mobile data growth.
