Openwave White Paper - Media Optimization for Mobile Networks

The proliferation of mobile devices, along with improvements in device capabilities and network bandwidth, have caused a tremendous increase in mobile data volume. Among the various forms of mobile data, video is quickly becoming the dominant data type in carrier networks.

As video traffic quickly consumes more of the available bandwidth, mobile service providers are experiencing tremendous strain on their networks. There are ways that service providers can approach the bandwidth shortage issue without adding network capacity through additional equipment CAPEX.

This white paper from Openwave discusses various media optimization technologies and best practices that can help service providers cope with the exponential growth of mobile video data without resorting to expensive CAPEX/OPEX solutions, while also providing an enhanced user experience and increased network efficiency.
