[Satellite TODAY 02-13-13] Ericsson will launch a new unified content delivery network (CDN) solution to address the global consumer shift to broadband mobility. The Ericsson Media Delivery Network solution unifies the delivery of managed and unmanaged content over fixed and mobile networks.

   The solution allows operators to access the media value chain with profitable video delivery. It also offers content providers and enterprises cost-effective accessibility and quality of experience across networks, which enables the delivery of video, web content, and app downloads.

   "Yesterday our mobile devices were telephones, today they are everything; our TVs, our banks, our conference rooms. The recent Ericsson Mobility Report shows that mobile data traffic will grow 12 times by 2018, and this is only the start of the tremendous transformation we will witness. The Ericsson Media Delivery Network solution breaks the boundaries of traditional CDN solutions, offering operators a single, intelligent, and agile management platform for superior efficiency, optimization, velocity of service, and monetization opportunities," Per Borgklint, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Support Solutions, Ericsson said on a statement.
