AVEA: "Creating integrated solutions with the OTT players - a major alternatives for better mobile internet access"

  

Aykal GÜMÜŞ (pictured), Mobile Broadband Products Manager, Avea (Turkey) a speaker in the next Broadband Traffic Management Congress, was interviewed to the Congress' site.

  

Few quotes:

• Wi-Fi business case - "The main business case of AVEA WIFI Offloading solution is to integrate a currently installed WIFI network directly to its Mobile Data Network to increase the data coverage area and reduce the cost of 3G investment"
   
• Data traffic increase - "The main challenge is to decrease the OPEX and CAPEX while increasing the bandwidth, coverage capacity and QoE. The growth in data use by mobile devices are increasing with the video streaming OTT services and this must be also optimized somehow with the related solutions"
   
• OTT partnership - "Consumers demand for better quality, lower cost and faster Internet access. To enable this cannot be handled only by making new infrastructure investment on the network. So creating integrated solutions with the OTT players is one of the major alternatives to provide a better mobile internet access. Integrating OTT’s CDN solutions inside mobile operators network can be one of this"
