Description:

Broadband wireless networks are approaching saturation due to an explosion of traffic spurred by smart phones and wireless dongles. If not addressed, congestion leads to poor quality of experience and ultimately customer churn. However, adding capacity to the wireless core network is a significant investment and thus operators are looking at novel approaches to deliver more capacity more cost effectively. Appropriate solutions can empower network equipment providers to incorporate Internet Offload / Traffic Offload Gateway functionality to provide congestion relief for the wireless core network. By identifying and routing certain classes of traffic directly to the Internet rather than via the wireless core network, operators can increase customer satisfaction and delay costly core capacity upgrades. An Internet Offload / Traffic Offload Gateway is flexible in its deployment options and is applicable to both LTE and 3G wireless networks.

This webinar address the drivers for the massive increase in traffic, presents the options for offloading traffic from the carrier core network both for 3G and LTE and presents a solution architecture for an advanced internet offload / traffic offload gateway.
