Case Study: Global Mobile Service Providers achieve optimized IP service performance and reduced infrastructure costs with F5 Networks

Global Mobile Service Providers Optimize Performance of IP Services with F5 Solution

Global Mobile Services Provider was grappling with exponential growth in IP, video and VoIP traffic from smartphones, tablets and other devices, which threatened to overwhelm key network resources and force costly infrastructure upgrades. To gain per-subscriber, per-service control and preserve performance without ripping out existing systems, the Global Mobile Services Provider selected F5 Networks and its VIPRION chassis and BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (with iRules) as the preferred solution.

F5 Networks implemented VIPRION/BIG-IP LTM as an intelligent service-delivery layer that inspects, steers and optimizes traffic in real time by subscriber, device and service type. The deployment enabled the Global Mobile Services Provider to avoid costly upgrades, improve data/video/VoIP performance, accelerate new service rollouts, reduce operational and capital costs, and increase average revenue per user (ARPU).
