Openwave Mobility's excellence in SDN

REDWOOD CITY, USA: For the second year running Openwave Mobility, a software innovator enabling operators to manage and monetize mobile data, has won the Excellence in SDN Award for Integra - the industry's first Layer 7 SDN & NFV enabled Value Added Services platform.

The accolade was presented by Technology Marketing Corp.'s (TMC) INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine and SDN Zone.

The Integra software solution is the core platform for service orchestration and policy management designed to allow operators to effectively manage, monitor and monetize growing mobile traffic. It is also the industry's most scalable platform and has established a new benchmark in expanding SDN architecture towards Layer 7. As traffic increases, Integra rapidly scales to deploy new mobile data services across converging access networks and devices.

Integra powers Openwave Mobility solutions, including Promotion and Pricing Innovation and Dynamo for video, web and audio optimization, to provide innovative subscriber-aware pricing models, and congestion-aware network optimization.

The 3G- and 4G-compatible platform reduces operator TCO and provides a path to SDN- and NFV-enabled core networks. Integra enables the separation of control-plane interactions from user-plane processing at L7. This results in subscribers enjoying a personalized user-experience with quicker access to content and a buffer-free video experience.
