MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Corporation
(NYSE: LSI) today announced a framework that will enable mobile
service providers to differentiate in a competitive landscape and
realize new, revenue-generating opportunities by distributing
intelligence, control and security throughout the network. The LSI®
end-to-end portfolio of networking solutions allows service
providers to contend with next-generation network demands while
creating unique new service offerings such as context and
policy-based services.
Today's mobile network makes cost-effective and scalable
deployment of services difficult. Further, significant ad revenue
based on content transported over mobile networks is realized by
over-the-top providers. The move to a flatter, distributed network
in 4G LTE paves the way for embedded intelligence to be deployed
more effectively in the access network by leveraging asymmetric
multicore processors with programmability and deterministic
performance.
The framework, with the LSI portfolio of innovative networking
solutions as the foundation, enables cost-effective distributed
network intelligence. Line-rate deep packet inspection,
programmable video acceleration and advanced traffic management at
the network edge allow service providers to provide context-aware
and policy-based services. These services are based on standard
capabilities such as ad insertion and graphics overlays, enhanced
with information about individual user behavior and history. In
addition to the LSI portfolio, the framework builds on available
databases, applications and subscriber analytics to provide
relevant user services.
"Users are continuing to adopt smartphones and smart devices,
putting a strain on mobile bandwidth due to more sophisticated
video content, Internet and social media applications," said Abhi
Dughar, Research Manager, IDC. "With increased bandwidth usage,
service providers are building out their networks while lacking
tools to monetize their network investments."
With the advent of mobile broadband, new cloud services, and the
proliferation of smart devices, consumers and knowledge workers are
consuming more bandwidth than ever before. Service providers are
challenged with building out their next-generation 4G networks in a
landscape where the network itself is being commoditized and
over-the-top providers capture most of the revenue. The LSI
portfolio of end-to-end networking products cost-effectively
distributes intelligence in the network to enable new
revenue-generating services for service providers and offers full
programmability for faster time to revenue and lower total cost of
ownership.
"Network equipment manufacturers must deliver products that are
uniquely positioned to help mobile service providers increase
revenue, improve market differentiation and enhance customer
loyalty," said William Choe, vice
president of marketing, Networking Components Division, LSI. "The
LSI Axxia™ Communication Processor family and StarPro® Media
Processor family give mobile service providers the flexibility and
control to address evolving services in next-generation
networks."
LSI will be demonstrating advanced video and policy-based
services for mobile networks in the LSI hospitality suite AV64 on
the Avenue at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 14 to 17. The LSI suite is located
midway along the Avenue near the crosswalk between the Courtyard
and Hall 8 of the exhibition. A whitepaper discussing the monetized
service provider network will be available from LSI at Mobile World
Congress and www.lsi.com.
