Openwave Mobility First to Deploy Mobile Video Optimization in the Public Cloud
NFV-ready DynaMO goes live on North American operator network
CTIA, Las Vegas and REDWOOD CITY, Calif.– September 9, 2014 – Openwave Mobility, a software innovator enabling operators to manage and monetize mobile data, today announced it has successfully implemented the industry’s first public cloud-based mobile data optimization solution for a prominent North American service provider.
This is the first known deployment utilizing the public cloud to optimize mobile traffic. Operators utilizing optimization via a public cloud can in some cases dramatically simplify their infrastructure planning and utilize economies of scale and “pay per use” on-demand elasticity. The public cloud deployment of video optimization is especially attractive to operators with roaming traffic or those who have fluctuating demands. DynaMO is also the industry’s most comprehensive mobile data optimization solution. The NFV-enabled solution combines contextually-selective and congestion-aware optimization techniques to optimize video, audio and web content.
“This deployment of DynaMO in the public cloud is a first for the mobile industry and represents a new CAPEX-reduction opportunity for mobile service providers,” said Indranil Chatterjee, Vice President of Product Management, Marketing and Strategy at Openwave Mobility. “We seamlessly deployed our virtualized DynaMO solution for a North American service provider with zero disruption, and in a fraction of the time required for a bare metal deployment. DynaMO brings greater agility, less risk, and lower costs, while allowing operators to benefit from a SaaS model leveraging their own private cloud or a public cloud.”
Over 50 percent of traffic on mobile networks is video. Openwave Mobility’s powerful DynaMO solution is equipped to maximize the efficiency of data transport over wireless networks and optimizes HD video and audio in real-time. DynaMO provides operators the option of hosting in the cloud or on the network and can be deployed in a virtualized environment with dynamic scaling that is fully aligned with NFV initiatives. DynaMO has been recognized by the industry multiple times, most recently winning Mobility TechZone LTE Visionary Award and being listed by Light Reading as a finalist in Light Reading’s Leading Lights Awards.
