Mobile Infrastructure

Introduction

Mobile Internet traffic is growing exponentially and subscribers increasingly expect advanced services on mobile platforms. Service providers face unprecedented challenges to meet their customers’ expectations and limit churn, while also monetizing their networks to maximize overall ROI. At the same time, equipment manufacturers must sustain cost/performance improvements while delivering new network services. 6WIND provides a software solution optimized for these Software-Defined Networks, proven in LTE deployments worldwide.

Please click here to request 6WIND’s white paper “Packet Processing Software for Mobile Infrastructure”. The white paper discusses how 6WIND’s software, designed for high-performance processing of network packets and optimized for multicore processors, enables system designers to meet the conflicting goals of high traffic rates, low system power and minimum system cost. The explanation is illustrated using real-world examples of 4G equipment and will leave readers with a good understanding of how to use advanced multicore packet processing techniques effectively in 4G infrastructure products.

3G / 4G Network Challenges

6WIND’s software addresses challenges faced throughout the ecosystem of companies providing solutions for 3G / 4G networks.

Service provider challenges:
