Cable Operators

Cable operators like all Broadband Service Providers must strive to stay ahead of subscriber quality of experience demands, offer new and differentiated services, ensure fair and equitable broadband access while maximizing the utilization of the bandwidth deployed on their broadband networks. The explosion in rich content TCP applications such as over-the-top (OTT) streaming video from sites such as YouTube, Hulu and NetFlix as well as P2P file sharing is creating tremendous peak bandwidth stress on the network. Cable operators know that delivering the video quality that has long been their hallmark is becoming increasingly more difficult over broadband networks

An operator could simply keep increasing bandwidth to work around the unavoidable usage peaks that are created by aggressive TCP applications such as video and P2P file sharing.  But simply throwing bandwidth at the problem can be a money losing proposition. What is needed are effective mechanisms to maximize network capacity utilization and better manage how bandwidth is consumed, thereby  minimizing   peak  network congestion, improving user throughput, and enhancing the ability to develop new revenue-generating services.

Anagran’s Internet Traffic Management platforms provide a non-disruptive network solution for cable operators to improve network efficiency and optimize the usage of their broadband networks. The Anagran products will not only help improve the delivery of quality-sensitive applications but also increase network capacity utilization, improve user throughput, and mitigate the impact of abusive users and applications. Anagran solutions ensure a fair, equitable and balanced delivery of services across the entire spectrum of cable subscribers.
