Case Study: Tier-1 European Mobile Operator streamlines services and cuts CAPEX/OPEX with Radware's Mobile Internet Gateway (MIG)

Tier-1 European Operator Streamlines Mobile Services with Radware’s Mobile Internet Gateway (MIG) Solution

A tier‑1 European mobile operator was struggling with a surge in mobile broadband traffic, the rapid adoption of smartphones, and flat‑fee plans that eroded ARPU and risked VAS CPU overload and “dump‑pipe” scenarios. The operator needed transparent traffic redirection and real‑time policy enforcement to improve network visibility, reduce CAPEX/OPEX and cost‑per‑bit, and enable new monetization and value‑added services.

The operator deployed Radware’s Mobile Internet Gateway (MIG), a transparent smart‑redirection and dynamic policy‑enforcement solution with DPI/DFI and front‑end/back‑end tiers that create dual paths for cellular modems and smartphones. MIG offloaded GGSN and VAS processing, provided proxy and header‑enrichment capabilities, and streamlined multi‑service platform traffic—resulting in better QoE, faster rollout of monetization engines and VAS, and measurable reductions in CAPEX, OPEX and cost‑per‑bit.
