Reclaim and Monetize Surplus Capacity

The wireless industry faces one of its greatest challenges to date with the ongoing capacity crunch and misalignment of exploding capital expense with continued ARPU pressure. Yet a handful of applications generate the vast majority of data on mobile networks today:

  • 11% of mobile traffic is acquiring apps and downloading updates.
  • 18% of mobile traffic is YouTube. A vast amount of this traffic is generated by just 20-30 of the most popular titles each day.
  • 30% of mobile uplink traffic is Facebook video and photo posts. Uplink congestion slows downlink performance from TCP ACK starvation.
  • Personal cloud solutions such as iCloud will inundate networks with a tsunami of additional traffic and further aggravate the situation.
By managing this traffic using the Opanga technology wireless operators can improve network utilization by up to 30% while delivering a much higher quality and differentiated video experience to their consumers.

Smarter Networks: Opanga’s patented adaptive bandwidth management technologies enable operators to reclaim and monetize surplus network capacity and distribute video content without degrading the network. Over a short period of time, a particular network element, such as a base station sector, will experience highly variable load – periods of congestion and surplus. NetRover manages the transfer of cumbersome files by aligning their delivery into surplus capacity.

Better Video: NetRover solutions transparently pre-position content into device memory – continually adapting and evolving the library with new content. Locally rendered content is refreshed within minutes of publication and playback starts instantly and never freezes – a video based application worth paying for. In contrast, streaming video provides highly inconsistent low quality playback – very frustrating for consumers – and simply not available in places where mobile consumers go – on a plane.
