Bridge Alliance members and Ericsson are partnering to deploy Ericsson's Unified Delivery Network (UDN) across 12 countries in the Asia Pacific region. UDN is a global content delivery network (CDN) which connects content providers all over the world with the last mile reach of network operators.
Bridge Alliance is the leading mobile alliance for premier operators in the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The alliance covers 34 members who serve more than 800 million customers collectively across these regions.
This new partnership enables collaboration between content providers and Bridge Alliance members, offering them a unique opportunity to play a significant role in the content delivery value chain.
The content distribution platform provides last mile network access, opening the door to deliver high-quality video and premium web content into deeper caches while providing a richer user experience.
