"Vasona Networks' cell-level traffic management solution lets carriers better understand what's happening on individual cell sites," said Phil Goldstein, Editor of FierceWireless. "By analyzing traffic that's going back and forth between the core network and the radio access network, the company's solution can determine how many users are on a particular cell and can see what their traffic flows are, letting Vasona detect how much each cell's bandwidth is being stressed and determine whether or not a cell is congested or the cell is not being used to the best of its capacity. Vasona is then able to, at a carrier's direction, reallocate bandwidth as necessary to ensure the best user experience on a particular cell site."
Founded in 2010, Vasona Networks recognized that bringing together certain mobile, media and IP networking technologies could address the deluge of growing application usage that mobile operators face today. Vasona Networks' resulting flagship SmartAIR1000 edge application controller manages mobile traffic across all applications, for each cell in a network. The benefits include significantly improved experiences for mobile subscribers during times when cells are congested. The insight that Vasona Networks provides also empowers mobile operators to more effectively use resources as they face expensive and complex upgrades to add network capacity.
"In just the past six months, we've launched our SmartAIR1000, brought total funds raised to $22 million and kicked off additional deployments with operators globally," said Biren Sood, CEO of Vasona Networks. "Being recognized by FierceWireless for our market leadership and innovation marks yet another milestone for Vasona Networks. We are honored to be named to this year's "Fierce 15" alongside so many other innovative companies."
