Mobile Network Operators Delivering lower latency, higher capacity and new service models

Hero

The wireless network is quickly evolving.

As consumer demand for robust mobile applications continues to grow at unprecedented rates, older wireless systems are beginning to buckle under pressure. For example, in many legacy networks the latency between mobile devices and the Mobile Network Operator’s (MNO) mobile packet core is too inefficient to support burgeoning real-time web and Internet applications such as Facebook and video conferencing.

To address this, mobile networks are beginning to deploy Evolved Packet Core (EPC) equipment to support new access standards like LTE that deliver significantly greater data capacity to customers with lower latency. But that’s only part of the equation. To truly realize full performance and efficiencies, the future EPC architecture must reflect today’s wireline architecture as a reference—because the MNO with the least latency and most capacity will gain users and mobile content market share.

Platform Equinix enables the optimal architecture for wireless.

Platform Equinix provides the ideal solution for regionally distributing high volumes of traffic closer to users and applications in order to ease congestion over backhaul lines. This enables you to engineer a backbone that can compliment emerging low-latency access technologies like LTE, while reducing operational costs.

Realize the benefits of Platform Equinix:

  • Direct interconnection to popular applications and content, including social networking, audio video, advertising and email, delivers reduced latency and increased user satisfaction
  • Distributed infrastructure facilitates “packet core” technology as the network flattens
  • Equinix Ethernet Exchange enables rapid connectivity solutions to multiple backhaul providers
  • Direct interconnection to service enablers and smart phone platforms for advanced handset functionality and OS enablement.
  • Access to data roaming within IBX® data centers—in fact, 24 of 35 GRX operators use Equinix for peering global data roaming services
  • Access to IPX networks that enable QoS and prioritization of services
  • Rely on over 6 million square feet of global capacity across 38 markets and growing, to ensure your operations can scale
