Vodafone Egypt has selected Openwave Mobility’s NFV-based download acceleration and encrypted video management solution to enhance subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE) and manage encrypted video traffic.
Vodafone Egypt, which has 40 million subscribers, aims to improve quality of video viewing to its customers. Due to increased traffic loads on its mobile networks, subscribers suffer poor Quality of Experience (QoE) including long wait times and video buffering.
Openwave Mobility, headquartered in Redwood City, CA, said its cloud based software platform is the only solution in the telecom industry to manage HTTPS, Google’s QUIC and Facebook’s 0RTT video delivery. The video solution for Vodafone Egypt includes Openwave Mobility’s cloud based subscriber data management platform (SDM-CE).
“As the volume of mobile data continues to grow, we needed a flexible solution that can handle all traffic types and assure our users of a greater mobile data experience” said Osama Siad, Vodafone Egypt’s Technology Director.
Vodafone Egypt will benefit from the deployment of Openwave Mobility’s technology by effectively managing all its video streaming data, including encrypted video, resulting in a very positive impact on subscriber QoE.
“Market research in the Middle East has shown that subscribers find video buffering as annoying as a dropped call. It is vital for mobile operators to have the right technology in place to deliver an outstanding QoE,” said John Giere, CEO and president of Openwave Mobility.
