Telcos & Access Providers

TelCos, Broadband and Mobile operators

Online video is booming. Flat-fee broadband and mobile subscribers are stressing the broadband networks. Content Delivery Networks are pushing large volumes into your network through free peering and free caches. An on-net CDN brings many advantages.

Online video booms

Broadband subscribers love online video. Online video is larger than all other online services together, including P2P and usenet. And this is just the beginning... just wait for content owners, broadcasters and studios to launch high quality or even High Definition Web TV services. It is a matter of time before households start watching TV via the Internet, all at the same time. 

Stressing the networks

Being confronted with extremely large and uncontrollable loads from CDN's, broadband operators want to optimize the traffic flows on their network. They want to take back control. Linear expansion of the network is not the answer. Traffic needs to be offloaded per network segment. Therefore, operators need intelligent content routing mechanisms.


Stressing the business case

Upselling faster connections to flat-fee customers is hard. Especially when they start feeling that their 20Mbps connection never really offers the maximum advertised speed. Cable and mobile operators fear to be marginalized to a basic access pipe provider. With all the upcoming WebTV services and VOIP services, you risk losing a precious customer to your own flat-fee service...


Differentiate

By building a content delivery network, you take back control. Offload expensive transit and stressed peering links. Geographically optimize traffic flows in your network. You can now ask the CDN's to remove their caches and pay for the resources that you control. 

By working together with CDN's and content owners, you can now offer higher QoS and can now manage more concurrent streams on your networks. Differentiate your content optimized network from those price fighting operators with their bad performance.

Reinventing the wheel?

Pilots don't build their own airplanes. Couriers don't build their own mini-vans. Captains don't design their own ships. Film makers don't develop their own cameras. Book writers don't code their own Word processor... well you get the point.

 

Not invented here an issue? We fully understand that you want maximum control over the technologies in your network. You need the flexibility. But stick to your core activities, stop reinventing the wheel. Use our +15 years experience and our professional technologies to build a CDN that suits your needs.


Share CDN resources

The intelligent and flexible setup of VideoExchange, allows you and other VideoExchange, powered operators to offload traffic to each other. By sharing resources with other CDNs around the globe you can now offer optimized geographical delivery to your customers, with maximum control, and the lowest possible investments. By working together, small CDN operators can now compete with large scale CDNs.


Reselling a CDN?

Some operators bought old CDN technologies. Some started to develop their own CDN. Others start to resell external CDN services. You can partner with CDNs by allowing them to setup caches in your network. Or you can partner with CDNs by linking your networks. While that may allow you to enter the market quickly, it still means that you are competing: external CDN's still bypass your infrastructure. You cannot manage the CDN yourself. In the end you need your own on-net CDN, managed by your staff: maximum margins, maximum freedom, and no patents issues.
