Your ultimate goal: improve profitability by driving revenue and reducing infrastructure costs. F5 solutions offer unprecedented scalability, reliability, and performance on a single, carrier-grade, purpose-built platform. Standardize strategic network control points and grow your business in a cost-effective, controlled way.
Scale—and simplify—your network
You’re struggling with an explosion of data traffic from increased mobile usage, resource-intensive over-the-top applications, and device proliferation. You’re also looking at new network technologies that help you stay competitive and satisfy customers. F5 solutions enable service providers to intelligently manage data traffic, conserve network resources, and quickly deliver more profitable services.
Profit from Diameter signaling growth
As you move to 4G LTE, the volume and complexity of your network signaling skyrockets. Taking control of Diameter signaling is the key to delivering the new services and fast performance your customers demand. F5’s industry-leading Diameter routing, load balancing, and gateway connectivity solution gives you the ability to manage, scale, and maximize the profit from your 4G LTE deployments.
Manage both IPv4 and IPv6 hassle-free
Service providers face the depletion of IPv4 address space and the explosion of new IP-enabled devices. You need a strategy to support both IPv4 and IPv6 devices and content while you gradually migrate to an all-IPv6 network. F5 solutions help you manage the depletion of IPv4 addresses and migrate to IPv6.
Optimize your control plane and scale with intelligence
Personalized, media-rich applications and mobile devices are putting an enormous strain on the signaling network, which manages subscriber information, network status, and session management. Service providers need a scalable, reliable control plane to satisfy customers. F5 offers a comprehensive control plane solution that optimizes and intelligently scales signaling interfaces such as Diameter, RADIUS, DNS, and SIP.
Secure your network, protect your data centers
Security threats are rising, with frequency and variety both increasing. It’s hard to keep up. But F5 offers a native, high-performance, service provider firewall solution that helps protect your entire infrastructure and scales to perform under the most demanding conditions. Unlike traditional firewalls, F5 brings together the network, applications, data, and users under a single security solution.
