SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a leading
provider of content delivery and AppOps at the edge, today
announced that Limelight's EdgeXtend has been adopted by NTT
DOCOMO, INC., Japan's leading
mobile operator, to expand its content business and improve user
experiences for thousands of viewers across Japan.
Using EdgeXtend, DOCOMO can easily turbocharge content
delivery to its customers by caching content from its ecosystem of
13 services. Caching on-network dramatically reduces the need to
repeatedly retrieve content from a distant origin, which can
significantly reduce costs. In addition, serving high-quality
content from local on-net systems reduces latency and increases
reliability.
With the added performance benefits of Limelight's CDN software
and Edge Cache hardware inside their own network, DOCOMO can now
enhance streaming video delivery. Additionally, operations can
easily balance steady state traffic and fail-over traffic as well
as prioritize individual types of traffic delivery.
"We can deliver valuable content from Limelight's
high-performance cache embedded in our network, enabling us to grow
our business, meet increased traffic demands, provide a better user
experience for our customers, and reduce costs," said Takashi Ito, General Manager of the Service
Design Department at DOCOMO.
"By bringing high value streaming video closer to its end users,
DOCOMO is able to reach large volumes of subscribers from locations
that will allow for the best possible viewing experience," said
Takayuki Tadokoro, Japan Country
Manager at Limelight Networks. "DOCOMO is a great example of how to
most efficiently grow business and tap into new revenue
opportunities from the next-generation digital and media
services."
