Traffic Mediation

Openwave Smart User Repository is a highly scalable, highly reliable user data storage solution built on the proven foundation of Openwave’s directory technology. It offers high speed, low latency user profile and policy access that is designed to help service providers manage the increasing data traffic. The repository stores and delivers subscriber policies across large distributed networks in real time to support policy enforcement at a granular level (per flow, per transaction, etc.).

Mobile bandwidth is finite, so as demand continues to grow, charging the same flat rate to all mobile data subscribers regardless of data usage is not a sustainable business model. In the past six months, we have observed a shift in the market as more and more mobile service providers have either announced or rolled out tiered service plans.

Securing the Internet Across All Devices

A wide variety of mobile devices contain growing amounts of unsecured personal data. Sophisticated smartphones are becoming the primary repository of important personal data. As security threats evolve and internet content is becomes easier to access, mobile operators must protect their subscribers’ networks and mobile devices.

Gateway to a Richer Mobile Internet Experience

Today, most web browsing is done from PCs. According to netcraft.com, there are more than 60 million active web sites on the Internet, yet only half a million offer limited access from a mobile phone.

Openwave Web Adapter takes content requests from mobile phones for standard web sites and converts the web pages into highly compressed, functional mobile phone-compliant WAP2 pages.

Delivering More of the Internet

Much of the content found on the Web today is unsuitable for browsing on a mass-market mobile handset as it is designed for the PC — a device with a large display, fast processing speeds and additional software packages to handle specialized objects.

Openwave Media Adapter converts web objects — including audio/video clips and MS Office documents — to a format suitable for your mobile handset. Specialized content is presented simply and intuitively as a web page, an image, an appropriately resized media file or a stream.

As off-portal browsing becomes more popular, users of smartphones and feature phones expect an internet experience resembling that of their PC. Speed, associated with a high-quality network and superior services, can be the biggest differentiator in a competitive mobile market.

Openwave Web Optimizer uses compression, caching and transcoding techniques to increase data transfer rates over wireless data networks while decreasing the amount of traffic flowing over the network. It delivers faster browsing speeds and more immediate access to content while conserving valuable bandwidth.

With the explosion of video traffic, mobile network service providers are faced with the challenge of effectively managing exponential growth in data traffic. Service providers must find ways to maximize bandwidth without sacrificing end user experience.

Openwave Media Optimizer adds value to the network with intelligent, device- and policy-aware delivery of online video content, reducing costs while increasing effective bandwidth.
