Radware Enables Pelephone, One of Israel's Leading Mobile Operators, to Streamline its Mobile Service.


Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, announced that Pelephone, one of Israel's leading mobile operator and telecommunications providers, will deploy its Mobile Internet Gateway (MIG) solution for dynamic traffic steering and flexible policy enforcement; supporting Pelephone's Mobile Service Platform, which serves 2.7 million mobile subscribers.
The growing popularity of mobile devices has increased demand for traffic-consuming mobile applications. This mobile broadband explosion, where customers want unlimited browsing access to Internet portals, content and application sites, led Pelephone to invest and expand its 3G and core infrastructure, introduce 3.75G radio access technologies, and restructure and secure its Multi Service Platform (MSP) architecture - to better support the new mobile service demands. As a result, the Company enlisted the help of Radware to implement its vigorous, reliable MIG solution, to improve value-added service (VAS) utilization.
"The acceleration of new mobile applications coming to market, combined with a steady adoption of sophisticated communications devices has created a glaring need for mobile operators to commission the types of integrated solutions that promote reliable network services at rapid speeds," said Doron Kurtz, VP engineering , Pelephone. "By leveraging Radware's technology, we have the flexibility to steer traffic according to dynamic policy decisions, maintain efficient bandwidth management, achieve better network cost per bit, and reduce network vulnerabilities."
As part of the MIG solution, Pelephone has deployed Radware's Content Inspection Director (CID) [R], a transparent smart redirection and dynamic policy enforcement device. This helps Pelephone increase user-content-handset visibility, quickly introduce new value-added services, and enrich content to support the movement towards an "open garden" concept, which can support the introduction of application and content from Internet application service providers.
Using CID's smart traffic steering engine on Radware's OnDemand Switch™ platform, Pelephone can dynamically enforce policies according to real-time network and service preferences, and also align services according to user profiles based on real-time queries from external user repositories. Additionally, the OnDemand approach allows Pelephone to scale service throughput up to 16Gbps on a "pay-as-you-grow" model. With Radware's integrated solution, Pelephone can enhance customer QoE and rapidly introduce new monetization engines/applications to address competition outside the "walled garden," which could potentially lower Pelephone's ARPU (average rate per user).
"The introduction of mobile broadband radio technologies such as HSxPA, along with a width range of 'traffic guzzler' smart-phones and applications, required Pelephone to invest in new technologies that would best control the growing traffic within its network, keeping subscribers satisfied with new value-added services and finding ways to generate revenue to stay market-competitive," said David Aviv, Vice President, Advanced Services, Radware. "Radware's Mobile Internet Gateway solution is specifically designed to provide mobile operators the tools they need to transparently manage their traffic, increase visibility, reduce operational expenses, and ensure ongoing return on investment - in both current architecture and support future migration towards 3GPP Rel 8 and Rel 9 (LTE) based network architectures."
Radware's AppDirector[R] and CID solutions is part of the Company's Business-Smart Data Center strategy, which is based on an approach to offer a range of innovative capabilities inclusive of pay-as-you-grow procurement models and a series of compelling 'on demand' platforms.

Viacom Puts HTS Network on the Block

  Viacom Inc. said yesterday that it will sell Home Team Sports, the valuable Washington regional sports cable television network, as part of the $91 billion merger of Viacom and CBS. Viacom Inc. said it will combine CBS Cable and MTV Networks as part of the deal but has no desire to own several parts of CBS Cable, including HTS; the Midwest Sports Channel, which serves Minneapolis and Milwaukee; or the advertising services firm Group W Sports Marketing. Viacom started to look for an HTS buyer even before the merger was finalized, MTV spokeswoman Carole Robinson said, adding that there are "several interested buyers," which she declined to name. CBS Cable owns 66 percent of Bethesda-based HTS, with the other 34 percent held by Fox Sports Net, which is assembling a group of regional cable sports networks throughout the United States and would be one logical purchaser. Robinson, CBS Cable spokeswoman Cheryl Daly and Jody Shapiro, a senior vice president of CBS Cabl...

Applied Biosystems and HTS Biosystems Enter Alliance to Develop Key Technology for Functional Proteomics.

Applied Biosystems (NYSE:ABI), an Applera Corporation business, and HTS Biosystems Inc., a privately-held company, today announced they have entered into a licensing and supply agreement to develop and commercialize a functional proteomics system based on HTS Biosystems' high throughput affinity screening technology. Applied Biosystems holds a minority equity position in HTS Biosystems; additional financial terms were not disclosed. Under the new collaboration, the parties plan to further develop and commercialize HTS Biosystems' FLEX CHIP(TM) System -- a next generation surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology that permits high throughput analysis of protein interactions in a more cost-effective and streamlined manner than existing technologies. The affinity, or tightness, of protein binding is an important characteristic affecting protein function. The FLEX CHIP(TM) System is a highly flexible, label-free detection platform for parallel kinetic analysis of binding...

American Superconductor Announces Termination of Research Program with ABB and EDF on Development of HTS Transformer Wire.

Companies to Explore Alternate HTS Wire Methodologiesand Architectures American Superconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: AMSC) announced today the termination of funding for a research program it has been conducting to develop high temperature superconductor (HTS) wires for use in transformers. The research program was started April 1, 1997 and has been funded equally by ABB, Electricite de France (EDF) and American Superconductor. American Superconductor, EDF (one of the world's largest electric utilities and a major shareholder in American Superconductor), and ABB intend to continue joint evaluation of American Superconductor's HTS technologies for use in transformers on a no-funds-exchanged basis. "Based on the results of our work with EDF and ABB, we have made a mutual strategic decision to end the current development program on HTS transformer wire," commented Greg Yurek, American Superconductor's chief executive officer. "Our efforts will now f...
