While service providers are expanding mobile network capacity to meet subscribers’ insatiable demand for data, challenges remain, including increasing bandwidth demand, heightened competition and the need to address the inherent dynamic nature of mobile networks while supporting an ever-evolving video ecosystem. Failure to address these issues can lead to customer dissatisfaction and churn, as well as negative effects on service providers’ profitability.
Openwave's Application Congestion Control solution offers mobile operators the unique capability to manage congestion dynamically in localized hotspots as it occurs, rather than requiring compression of all videos on the network. With the Openwave solution, service providers can gain a clear understanding of network traffic and subscriber usage patterns, adapt network usage to match traffic patterns and quickly react to changes in content delivery mechanisms and video formats to provide an optimal user experience.
