Radware Enables Mobile Service Providers to Control and Optimize Network and Service Deployments
Radware's new Mobile Internet Gateway Reduces Total Cost of Ownership Today, and Ensures Deeper Network Visibility for Advanced Revenue-Generating Services, Tomorrow
BARCELONA, (GSMA Mobile World Congress Hall 1, Stand 1D01), February 17
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of
integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking,
introduced today a new version of its Mobile Internet Gateway, a scalable
service- and network-aware policy switch for flexible and profitable service
introduction.
The Mobile Internet Gateway provides mobile operators a tailor-made,
pay-as-you-grow scalable application delivery model; enabling improved
real-time classification of on/offnet traffic and partner sites for effective
service factory optimization and reduced implementation complexities of
mobile back-end resources, while enhancing further monetization of the
network for flexible and effective introduction of new service delivery
models (SDP) and support new billing policies.
As end-users continue to leverage the mobile Internet for real-time
access to next-generation applications and services, mobile operators will
require stricter transactional-level management and network insight to ensure
optimal quality of experience (QoE). The Mobile Internet Gateway provides an
evolutionary path to intelligent service management - when the operator needs
it - through increased control over mobile traffic by adding "dynamic
awareness" of user status and 3GPP attributes gained through the operator's
authentication, authorization and accounting AAA (RADIUS), enabling high
speed header enrichments and modifications. These in turn help gain deeper
network intelligence and visibility at the microflow level and allow for new
ways to optimize and introduce new services in an effective manner resulting
in dramatic reductions in total cost of ownership (TCO) as well as new ways
to increase the ARPU.
By aligning high speed header enrichments and modifications, Radware's
Mobile Internet Gateway will enable service factory optimization by utilizing
new "smart" dynamic flow redirection and offloading techniques to reduce the
number of servers and optimize service delivery. It will enhance
service-level management, optimize and adjust the number of service proxies
resulting in better alignment of network and service resources and improved
user QoE. Various optimization models such as effective bypass WAP GW for
major cost reductions, parental control and more, can be archived by
segregation of on/offnet traffic and partner sites, and utilization of high
speed header enrichment and modifications.
Operators can also deploy additional mobile front-end capabilities such
as modem acceleration (WTCP optimization, caching, image reduction and
compression) to better utilize the radio access network bandwidth and servers
available, further enhancing network performance.
"Focused on mobile operator investment protection, our goal is to deliver
an intelligent service management path that opens the door to new
revenue-generating mobile service opportunities," said David Aviv, Vice
President, Advanced Service, Radware. "By deploying our Mobile Internet
Gateway mobile operators will be able to advance their back-end datacenters
to serve business requirements and ensure long-term cost reductions."
Radware's Mobile Internet Gateway can be deployed transparently in the
network, requiring no routing modifications. This simplifies implementation
complexities through new capabilities of header enrichments, to improve the
time-to-market required to build new mobile combinational Internet and
"Walled Garden" value added services.
David Aviv continued, "Enhancing business-resource alignment through
added network visibility, control and optimization is critical for future
network monetization. Radware's opportunity is to offer its Mobile Internet
Gateway as the transitional tool that can help operators evolve their
networks from a traditional 'dumb' pipe into an intelligent, services-rich
revenue-generation vehicle."
Radware's Mobile Internet Gateway is part of the company's Business-Smart
Data Center initiative, based on an approach that offers a range of
innovative capabilities inclusive of pay-as-you-grow procurement models,
state of the art on demand platforms, real-time behavioral security and the
alignment of network behavior based on business events.
