LONDON -- Altobridge (www.altobridge.com), specialists in technology that cuts the cost of communicating across wireless networks, has today announced the launch of a multi-layered caching capability at both the radio base station and on users’ mobile devices, i.e., mobile phones, smartphones and CPE (Customer Premises Equipment).

Altobridge hierarchical caching is based on Intel's scalable range of communications oriented processors, ranging from low-power, single and multi-core Intel® Atom™ processors on the smart cell, to Intel® Xeon® processor platforms used on the Management Gateway, located at the operator's core network.

For several years, mobile carriers have witnessed Over-The-Top (OTT) service providers profit greatly from their ability to offer content delivery over the wireless carriers’ radio access network (RAN). These OTT players are not obliged to make direct or indirect contributions to the enormous costs entailed in the deployment, maintenance and continuous upgrade of the RAN. Furthermore, with the evolution of big data, mobile network operators are coming under even more pressure to maximise their RAN deployments and to introduce their own OTT-style services.
