Saguna Presents CDN-Extend - Exceptional Mobile User Experience Even With HTTPS Data

LAS VEGAS, September 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Saguna Networks, an innovative provider of RAN-based acceleration and monetization solutions for LTE Networks, will participate at 4G World and unveil a new class of CDN for Mobile networks that leverage real-time radio congestion monitoring and proximity to mobile users to deliver superior user experience, even when handling delivery of HTTPS content. 4G World is taking place September 9-11, 2014 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Today, more than ever, users and service providers alike are acutely aware of the importance of securing mobile data. As HTTPS content cannot be cached or optimized inside the mobile network using standard "transparent" caching methods or optimization techniques, operators face the challenge of offering secure data delivery while providing smooth user experience.

In order to improve the mobile Internet user experience, content should be served as close as possible to the mobile user.

Saguna CODS Open-RAN featuring CDN-Extend enables content providers to optimize content delivery closer to mobile users, reduce latency and increase delivery speed while preserving mobility and complete core network functionality including billing and policy enforcement. This innovative solution enables not only an enhanced user experience and delivery, but also presents mobile operators with ample opportunities to leverage their networks and gain new revenues through offering new services and applications.

"For many reasons - the rising volumes of mobile video traffic, latency concerns in LTE networks - it's no surprise that RAN vendors are increasingly embracing the kind of base-station server approach that Saguna has championed. The fact that Saguna goes beyond network optimization and customer experience management to focus on new revenue-generating opportunities only increases its relevance to vendors, operators and content delivery networks," said Ed Gubbins, Senior Analyst at Current Analysis.

The demonstration at the Saguna booth (3342 at 4G World/CTIA 2014), features Akamai's Content Delivery Network (CDN) integrated as a server-side application running on the Saguna CODS Open-RAN platform, which operates inside the mobile base station. Using Saguna CODS CDN-Extend, Akamai's CDN can cache content for delivery as close as possible to mobile users at the mobile network edge. Visitors will see a live demonstration of streaming content from the Radio Access Network yielding an outstanding user experience.

In recent weeks, Saguna CODS shines as an innovative solution, attracting major industry cooperation and partnerships and recognized as a finalist in the Best of 4G World Award, as well as a winner in Intel's Network Builders Awards.

At 4G World/CTIA, Saguna's CTO and VP of Customer Care, Danny Frydman, will discuss the challenges of HTTPS content delivery and the benefits of operating a CDN inside the mobile network in a presentation titled 'The First Content Delivery Network Operating Inside The Mobile Network, Presented by Saguna' on September the 9th, 3:00-3:20pm at the Expo Hall Solutions Theater, Booth 2875.
