Changing user behavior and growing network traffic raise a business need for efficient media distribution, content delivery and the content delivery networks. Ericsson’s Media Delivery Network addresses this need and helps operators reduce costs and increase revenue. The Ericsson solution differs from standard content delivery networks, as it includes media-specific capabilities as well as optional network awareness. Ericsson’s Media Delivery Network combines capabilities such as wholesale content distribution and delivery, transparent internet caching and service enhancers that can be deployed as overlay architecture, embedded in network nodes.
