F5
Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV)
has been recognized with Informa Telecoms’ LTE
North America Award for the Best LTE Roaming Product. Winners were
selected during the LTE
North America Conference, recently held in Dallas, Texas. The award
program recognizes LTE-related solutions, vendors, and carriers that are
exceptional in their area. Honorees are credited with making LTE more
attractive for operators to deploy, and contributing to the success of
commercial LTE deployments.
Sue Rudd, director of service provider analysis for Strategy Analytics,
Inc. and a judge for the LTE North America LTE roaming award noted, “As
LTE increases signaling traffic for roaming with IPX and voice fallback
to 3G networks, it is important for operators’ signaling solutions to
optimize integrated signaling and routing control—as F5 emphasized in
its presentation during Signaling Day at the LTE conference, ‘When
Flexibility in Routing is Supreme.’ F5’s Traffix Signaling Delivery
Controller offers an integrated, scalable multiservice platform that is
a powerful part of its routing and control solution.”
The F5
Traffix Signaling Delivery Controller (SDC™) helps
overcome industry challenges around LTE deployments, specifically the
constant growth of smartphone use and the resulting need for operators
to manage the subsequent uncontrolled signaling between network elements
in order to maintain network performance.
The F5 Traffix SDC features a context-aware routing engine for reliable
signaling overload control and the network visibility required for
immediate identification and prevention of service issues. It has been
selected by more than 60 operators worldwide for network signaling
control and to achieve optimal network performance and reliability.
“This is the second
consecutive year that F5 has been recognized by Informa with an LTE
award—winning the ‘Best LTE Core Network Element’ in 2013—reinforcing
the success our Diameter solution is seeing in the market,” said Mallik
Tatipamula, vice president of service provider solutions at F5. “When
the F5 Traffix SDC is part of an LTE roaming deployment, its Diameter
Edge Agent (DEA) ensures that all peer connections are secured and
protected by normalizing the flow of signaling messages, preventing
failover or many other situations that could negatively impact
performance in either the visited or home network. Continued industry
recognition serves as a proof point that the team’s efforts are paying
dividends.”
