Due to the phenomenon of more and more data and video traveling over telecom networks, operators need to protect and optimize their data services, noted Radware's (RDWR) David Aviv during a conversation with RCR Wireless News.
Aviv noted that the company is focusing at this week's Mobile World Congress event on two solutions: DefensePro and its strategy of mobile service edge (MSE) solution.
Radware noted that the approach of MSE is to target high-end mobile operators by enabling them to address the challenges resulting from the dramatic growth of mobile data and wireless services while evolving towards 4G/LTE and the introduction of new data center architectures required to run services, networks and IT infrastructure more effectively.
Indeed, Aviv noted trends towards an increase in data and video transmission over networks and in the computing infrastructure field moving towards virtualization. "We basically build our solutions based on these trends," Aviv explained.
In addition, Aviv also mentioned the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) standard was part of its focus. "We recognize this years ago, and have developed solutions that optimize IP protocols to address carriers needs. We have solutions running in many very important, tier-one carriers around the world," Aviv added.
Aviv noted that as a company, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 35% of its revenues; Europe and Latin America together represent 35%; and the other 30% was generated in the United States and Canada. Radware said it runs its Latin America division under its European operations due to the importance of Spain’s Telefónica, which has significant operations across Latin America.
"Now we are focusing efforts in Brazil, mostly because of future events, and keeping focus on the U.S., because it always represents strong growth," Aviv said.
