Bandwidth Management
Monetize Internet Services and Ensure Fair Use
Mobile broadband networks are the fastest-growing arena for accessing the Internet and its vast array of content and services. With the introduction of sophisticated smart phones and USB dongles for laptops, consumer demand for downloading, streaming, browsing, creating and sharing content has increased exponentially.
As a result, operators are faced with increasing use that doesn’t translate into proportional revenue growth, and increasing congestion that negatively impacts the user experience for everyone on the network. In mobile environments, these problems are exacerbated by an infrastructure where radio spectrum and RAN backhaul is limited; and where cell capacity can be monopolized by very few subscribers.
While 4G technologies promise to deliver better performance on data services, it won’t solve all the problems and it will be several years until 4G accounts for the majority of subscription shares. Bandwith management and traffic shaping solutions help mobile operators maximize their 3G/3.5G investments by managing service consumption and performance more effectively as they transition to 4G.
