Faster Access, Higher QoE, Less Data Volume

The caching element of the T-Series Adaptive Traffic Management System is the T2100 Content Accelerator. Integrated with either the T3100 Adaptive Traffic Manager or the Unison™ Platform, the T2100 delivers superior video quality of experience (QoE) through both offline and online optimization and supports enforcement of subscriber and network policies.

Why is caching important? Repeat requests for the same video from multiple subscribers can cause content server delays - with videos playing slowly or stalling for many seconds while the subscriber waits. This is true even of the most popular online video sites, which are supported by extensive infrastructure.

With high-performance caching, mobile operators can improve the user experience while reducing network costs by serving popular content from within their network. More than 50% of video transactions are repeat requests, making them highly cacheable. Cached videos play more quickly and are less likely to stall. By optimizing cached videos offline, operators can enhance QoE without adjusting levels of data compression.

The T2100 caches up to 60% of video data volume on average, which reduces data traffic across internet links and the mobile packet core. Because of its tight integration with Bytemobile's video optimization solution, the T2100 enables operators to compress cached videos by up to 40%. As network conditions fluctuate, cached content can be dynamically controlled according to changing bandwidth availability, ensuring minimal or no video stalling for subscribers.

The T2100 supports Bytemobile's T3100 and Unison Platform deployments.
