Ericsson today said Limelight Networks, CDNetworks and ChinaCache will integrate their systems with the Ericsson content delivery solution.
These global CDN partnerships will enable operators to improve the efficiency of high quality content delivery by creating a multi service system. Content providers will benefit from a seamless delivery mechanism for reaching audiences on both a local and global level, opening up new revenue streams, said Ericsson.
Ove Anebygd, vice president and head of Solution Area Media, Ericsson, said: “Convergence of global CDNs with operator networks propels content delivery forward to a new level of effectiveness, and enables the media industry to optimize broadcast potential with the continued explosion of available video content.”
Ericsson’s latest Mobility Report indicates that networks are suffering from increased strain as video becomes an ever-more dominating force in network traffic, with an expected growth of 55 percent each year to 2019. This growth impacts network profitability requiring costly infrastructure investments.
