Web and Video Optimization and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) investment will increase to over $5billion by 2019, said ABI Research.
As smartphones and tablets are growing faster, mobile broadband operators such as Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular, etc. need traffic optimization solutions for their networks now as they already struggle with network congestion.
ABI Research suggests that a focus on content delivery allows operators to optimize content to control the delivery and enhance quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE).
“The optimization solutions market continues to challenge those vendors, and continued consolidation is likely to achieve a healthy and sustainable ecosystem,” said ABI Research analyst, Sabir Rafiq.
ABI Research says telecom operators should be concerned with the amount of data consumed by their subscribers, and how this affects the overall QoE.
The following vendors will benefit from this growth:
Video and Web optimization solutions from vendors such as ByteMobile, Openwave Mobility and Vantrix are available to improve user experience and network performance.
Deep Packet Inspection and monitoring vendors, Sandvine, Astellia, and others, deliver the data packet intelligence and helps operators ensure QoS/QoE at peak times.
Operators can also find help with Content Delivery Networks (CDN) as leading infrastructure vendors, including Ericsson, Nokia Solutions & Networks, Cisco, and Huawei offer differentiated solutions.
