Citrix NetScaler integration with ByteMobile

Introduction

Laymen explanation

If you are using mobile 3g/4g network to browse, you will experience slowness compared to when you are using wi-fi. But for mobility, you need to use mobile networks. Then how to handle this situation? One way is to optimize browsing content so that less data is transferred and so, user experience will be better. ByteMobile technology uses many more tricks to improve mobile user experience. NetScaler helps bytemobile to achieve this.

Technical explanation

The nature of the mobile network has changed significantly with the rapid growth of mobile traffic, specifically the rise of encrypted mobile video and content, and the build-out of LTE and LTE-advanced networks. This shift has been highly disruptive for service providers struggling to achieve the best total cost of ownership (TCO) from the strategic platforms within their infrastructure. Service providers need platforms that readily adapt to dynamic traffic trends and, help them deliver highly efficient and profitable services that can maximize the yield of their LTE networks. Service providers require leading-edge technology focused on improving the subscriber experience, which today largely means the availability of higher quality media content with less video stalling. The mobile video experience is fast becoming a key enabler to attracting and retaining mobile subscribers.

Several techniques are employed to improve the mobile subscriber experience and enable mobile networks to accommodate exploding growth in video and data consumption.
