Groundbreaking Video Transport Technology

Demand for mobile capacity is growing at unprecedented rates. Wireless technology and standards continue to evolve, but huge challenges remain in the effective management of data across capacity and spectrum constrained mobile networks.

Application awareness at the network edge can preserve Quality of Experience (QoE) and increase the throughput of congested systems by intelligently considering the varied requirements of different applications.

By optimizing the transport of multimedia data traffic across a radio access network (RAN), Cygnus technology is able to limit or eliminate the common transport artifacts experienced in a traditional mobile network. Problems such as distortion and frozen playback are addressed by Cygnus eQoE™ technology operating in a 3G NodeB or 4G eNodeB system.

Operators invest in costly spectrum to deliver mobile services and eQoE™ provides a necessary improvement in the spectral efficiency, network capacity and overall user experience.

True Capacity Enhancement

Implementing eQoE™ allows carriers to operate the RAN with less capacity in reserve, and to create up to 25% more real and virtual network capacity.

Cygnus Solution – eQoE™ Intelligent Traffic Management
Cygnus eQoE™ solutions target challenging video applications such as YouTube, Netflix and Hulu+, and supports technologies including RTP/RTSP, HTTP progressive download and HTTP streaming.

eQoE™  technology includes the following components:

• iAD™ (intelligent Application Detection)
• Application aware scheduling and admission control

Cygnus solutions can be integrated into 3G and 4G base stations of any size, allowing networks to run deeper into congestion while enhancing customer experience.
