Original Press Release:
Radware Facilitates Mobile Network Transformation, With Mobile Internet Gateway Focusing on User-Service-Content Aware Networks
Deep Packet Inspection-Based Switch Enables Effective and Secure 'Open' Mobile Networks; Offering Mobile Operators Enhanced Visibility, Intelligence and Security of Mobile Internet Traffic
BARCELONA (GSM Mobile World Congress, Booth #1D01, Hall 1), February 11/-- Expanding on its growing portfolio of carrier solutions, Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, today introduced its new Mobile Internet Gateway solution, a first-to-market configurable policy switch, that facilitates mobile network transformation into user-service-content aware networks.
Mobile operator networks are undergoing a shift from controlled, closed Internet access networks to more open mobile broadband infrastructure models. This shift leaves operators exposed to greater volumes of traffic over the RAN (radio access network), increased network security threats and questionable service integrity with no QoE (Quality of Experience) assurance.
To overcome these challenges, Radware's new Mobile Internet Gateway, a service factory platform, effectively and securely 'opens' mobile networks to the Internet; facilitating a mobile network transformation to advanced user-service-content aware networks across layer 2-7. This is achieved through a high performance, configurable policy switch that performs smart re-direction and enhanced RAN utilization, load balancing, flexible flow policy initiation and hair-pinning.
"We are transforming mobile carrier networks into intelligent service delivery platforms that deliver user-service-content awareness needed to effectively help carriers understand their customers and monetize investments in next-generation mobile networks," said David Aviv, Vice President, Advanced Services, Radware. "The goal of our new Mobile Internet Gateway is to offer mobile operators innovative delivery platforms that support new carrier Internet-based service models, for profitable business evolution and ARPU growth."
Based on Radware's deep packet inspection/deep flow inspection(TM) (DPI/DFI) engine, this new solution offers mobile operators enhanced visibility, intelligence and granular policy-based control over mobile Internet traffic. Radware's Mobile Internet Gateway provides carriers the ability to monetize their investments in 3G/4G (third/fourth-generation) networks, and capitalize on 'opening' mobile networks to yield greater service growth and differentiation.
Core technical and business benefits driven by deploying Radware's Mobile Internet Gateway, include:
- Service Factory Enablement: Radware provides mobile operators with a service factory enablement platform through its best-of-breed DPI/DFI engine. Leveraging user-service-content visibility, the mobile operator can quickly introduce new services, guaranteeing optimized service delivery by enabling improved QoS (Quality of Service) and resource allocation.
Additionally, Radware extends premium service opportunities and enables operators to quickly introduce new content-based services such as Over-The-Top (OTT) video, User Generated Content (UGC), and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) services to monetize network investments through new revenue generation caused by heightened service profitability and an increase in ARPU (Average Revenue per User).
- Intelligent Service Routing & Offloading Network Resources: Radware enables intelligent traffic flow routing through application server offloading and WAP Gateway bypassing; improving end-user QoE.
- Acceleration and Optimization of Internet Service Delivery over the RAN: Radware overcomes mobile RAN bandwidth and handset constraints, enabling adapted, reliable, high performance mobile Internet service delivery. Addressing IP service performance challenges across the RAN, Radware helps mobile operators drive widespread mobile Internet service adoption and growth in rich media content delivery to end-user devices.
- Enhanced Mobile Internet Security & Service Integrity: While the proliferation of advanced end-user mobile devices, new mobile Internet applications and evolving broadband networks offer mobile operators significant opportunities to drive new revenue streams, it also presents the need for more reliable and secure service delivery platforms. To ensure service integrity and continuity, Radware's multi-Gig network-based intrusion prevention and adaptive Behavioral security solution detects and mitigates network attacks in real-time, dynamically generating filters that immediately protect network resources from emergent Internet-to-mobile and mobile-to-Internet security threats caused by 'misbehaving customers."
