ADAPTIVE BITRATE MANAGEMENT
• Real time monitoring of network
• Uses Avg BW concept to provide optimal video quality delivery
• Support faster initial time to play video.
• Remove inefficiency like retransmission and packet loss due to BW
limit
• Support Http, HTTPs, QUIC, based Video content optimization.
KEY BENEFITS • Supports legacy manifest manipulation, video transcoding and
optimized delivery including just in time.
• Effectively reduces data usage
by - 20-30% without impacting
the QoE
• Reduce PRB utilization by
20-30%
• Defers infrastructure
investment by squeezing more
traffic out of the existing
network
• Provide optimal video quality
content based on radio
congestion

JIT ( Just in Time) Optimize

 High volume elephant flows

generated, mainly by heavy
video traffic consumption,
propagated to growing
numbers of connected
devices drives radio cells
into a congested state faster
than ever.
 The Just In Time algorithm
calculates, in real time, the
client read-ahead video
buffer and controls the
maximum buffer size per
video application.

Free-up 10% radio resources
