Sandvine Partners with Mobixell, Ortiva Wireless and Vantrix

 

Shortly after announcing the partnership with Acision [see "Going for a Service Gateway - The Sandvine Acision Partnership" - here], Sandvine announces that "it has partnered with three global companies for end-to-end media optimization solutions: Mobixell [here], Ortiva Wireless and Vantrix [here and here].. Operators can deploy such solutions with minimal investment due to Sandvine’s patent-pending, advanced, granular method for diverting traffic, which ensures that only appropriate traffic flows are redirected to optimization platforms. Similar solutions based on simple port-based redirection result in considerable network inefficiencies".

“Sandvine’s traffic redirection technology provides a flexible and reliable way for wireless service providers to deploy media optimization in their networks,” said Ron Garrison, VP Product Management, Ortiva Wireless. “Mobile video optimization amplifies the capacity of the existing network, deferring capex and reducing opex for service providers while at the same time improving their subscribers’ quality of experience.”

Another step in creating a more complete multi-function traffic management solution (rather than independent "boxes" or point solutions) - and video optimization is surly one of more important add-ons to DPI/QoS management (or vice-verse) - preferably under the control of a single policy management entity.
