Real-Time Multimedia
The Challenge
Delivering real-time multimedia is complex and demanding. Users expect flexibility and speed as they access a range of services, switching dynamically from audio to video and back again, inviting other parties to join a session, sharing downloads and streaming their own content to other users. These sessions present significant performance and service optimisation challenges for service providers.
Service providers have to manage real-time multimedia efficiently to ensure consistent quality of experience for their customers. They need the ability to prioritise revenue generating or preferred services against competing services from OTT providers and other vendors.
The Solution
The solution is to deploy GoS Agent on client devices and GoS Manager in the network core, optionally connected to the PCRF. The combination of GoS Agent and GoS Manager gives network operators both visibility and control of all traffic, right down to the end user device. GoS 360° is the only way to ensure the consistent, reliable end-to-end prioritisation and dynamic allocation of resources demanded by real-time multi media.
The Benefits
With the unique combination of GoS Agent and GoS Manager, service providers secure:
- Real-time visibility of customer experience and demand
- Optimised QoS for multiple, real-time services
- Efficient bandwidth utilisation
- The ability to identify, protect and prioritise preferred user traffic
- Cost reductions through efficient network optimisation and management
- Additional revenue with assured, sticky services
GoS 360° delivers the only means to fully control upstream, user-generated traffic.
