ABI Research forecasts that Web and Video Optimization and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) investment will increase to over US$5Billion by 2019. This is driven mainly by the greater market penetration of smartphones and tablets and the increasing expectations from customers for better service quality. According to ABI Research, Video and Web optimization solutions from vendors such as ByteMobile, Openwave Mobility and Vantrix are available to improve user experience and network performance. Also, Deep Packet Inspection and monitoring vendors, Sandvine, Astellia, and others, deliver the data packet intelligence and help operators ensure QoS/QoE at peak times. It further says that 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. A focus on content delivery allows operators to optimize content to control the delivery and enhance QoS/QoE.
“The optimization solutions market continues to challenge those vendors, and continued consolidation is likely to achieve a healthy and sustainable ecosystem,” comments research analyst, Sabir Rafiq. “Operators should be concerned with the amount of data consumed by their subscribers, and how this affects the overall Quality of Experience (QoE).”
