PeerApp, a leading content delivery networks solution provider, this week introduced an enhanced software for its Ultraband content delivery network solution that the company said doubles the traffic handling capacity, providing operators flexibility as they prepare for more streaming services and 4K/UHD video delivery. According to PeerApp, the solution enables operators to ensure that their customers are able to watch videos from services such as Netflix and HBO GO on televisions, laptops, tablets and other devices -without experiencing buffering or stalling.
The company is also introducing new mid-range products, creating the broad product range in the industry scaling from under 1 Gbps traffic handling capacity through to 150 Gbps in a single system for Tier 1 needs.
PeepApp noted that rich media content explosion is straining operator networks, resulting in poor subscriber QoE even in advanced broadband and 4G/LTE environments. In addition, dynamic events such as the World Cup and software updates like iOS 8, cause traffic spikes that also impact the subscriber experience, a key factor in customer retention.
Alan Arolovitch, PeerApp CTO.
Our continued innovation of the UltraBand solution is important to our over 450 customers worldwide. As operators look to consider new broadband strategies, especially around streaming video and OTT monetization, PeerApp offers a comprehensive solution that can be deployed in a 'right-sized' manner to fit unique needs of each operator. With entry-level systems ranging from under 1 Gbps to 5 Gbps, we can meet the needs of smaller operators, college and universities, or smaller-scale 'edge' deployments. Our mid-range offer brings great density and power efficiency and can also be deployed in the core or at the edge of the network; and we continue to support growing Tier 1 needs with high-end capacity and fully redundant systems that range up to 150 Gbps.
