UltraBand Solution Benefits

By transforming how ISPs handle P2P traffic traversing their networks, PeerApp UltraBand delivers a wide range of both business and technical benefits:

Lower Bandwidth Costs

• By caching content accessed via P2P networks, UltraBand reduces the amount of overall Internet backbone bandwidth an ISP is required to support subscriber demand. In addition to saving overall bandwidth costs, for cable-based ISPs, UltraBand significantly delays the need to add CMTS upstream ports, and postpones node splits, alleviating large capital investments.

Greater Network Efficiency

• UltraBand is the only solution that can manage the peaks and valleys associated with P2P usage . UltraBand allows ISPs to achieve better bandwidth efficiency through generation of bandwidth on an as-needed basis to support peak usage without having to oversubscribe networks. In addition, UltraBand actually improves network response times for both P2P and non-P2P applications and improves overall customer experience.

Increased Customer Satisfaction

• By alleviating the network impact of P2P, UltraBand improves network quality for all subscribers on an ISP’s network, lowering support calls and churn rates. Heavy P2P users especially benefit from UltraBand, which allows all P2P traffic to traverse ISP networks, and caches P2P content completely transparently to both clients and file sharers.

Platform for Growth

• UltraBand allows ISPs to treat P2P traffic and users as first-class citizens, providing a platform for offering value-added P2P services. UltraBand unclogs networks of P2P traffic, giving ISPs capacity to prioritize high-revenue traffic, and offer value-added services such as VPN, broadband video, VoIP, and P2P file sharing.
