Grand Junction, Colorado – Sky Peak Technologies is excited to announce a marketing and sales agreement for their innovative technology CORASM Mobile Edge (ME) with Associated Carriers Group (ACG) – a consortium of Tier 2 and Tier 3 mobile network operators and resellers who use their combined subscriber base to leverage purchase prices for devices, technology, software, and other solutions that benefit its members. The agreement provides ACG members with preferential pricing and a pre-negotiated master services agreement while also supporting ACG.
“The CORA ME application is the innovative, cost-saving technology ACG member carriers need to compete in a highly competitive marketplace. CORA Mobile Edge gives them the edge they need!” says ACG’s President Russ Lipinski.
Sky Peak Technologies’ groundbreaking on-device smart content-shaping solution provides mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) an affordable way to manage the growing onslaught of streaming video on mobile devices. This new solution tackles the increasing consumption of over-the-top streaming content at the device level to optimize the entire data delivery process.
“We are excited to partner with ACG and bring our patented technology to its members,” says Cat Coughran-McIntosh, CEO and co-founder of Sky Peak Technologies. “Mobile telecommunication providers currently rely on outdated technologies to address a new and growing problem – delivering streaming video content over the mobile network to mobile devices. Without a modern solution purposefully built for the problem, operators face network inefficiencies, poor user experiences, and high data delivery costs. These issues are especially costly for the smaller operators, making them vulnerable to competition. Most consumers don’t understand that these operators are vital to keeping data costs low and network coverage strong.”
Currently, 80% of the data volume on the cellular network is from streaming video content, and experts predict the total data traffic will double in just five years. “In just the last few years, the demand for streaming video worldwide has exploded and is predicted to increase drastically year over year. The cost of using premium cellular bandwidth to deliver streaming video services to customers is an increasing burden to MVNOs and regional/rural MNOs,” says Coughran-McIntosh. “Our flagship product, CORASM Mobile Edge (ME), elegantly shapes data-intensive streaming video and ‘rightsizes’ it for the device requesting it before it reaches the last mile network. CORA ME smart shaping technology delivers a great user experience with considerably less data, thus reducing the bandwidth and energy needed to keep pace with this voracious streaming video consumption.”
With up to an 88% reduction in resources needed to deliver data-intensive content to mobile devices, the core value proposition of CORA ME is to enable operators to create happier subscribers by giving them more of the streaming video content they crave while, at the same time, freeing up the network for other operations and creating a more profitable environment for operators. Even operators using a network compression tool or other on-network traffic management strategy can see an additional 30% or more savings on data delivery while enhancing the user experience.
By utilizing CORA ME’s smart-shaping technology for all smartphones and tablets that stream video while accessing the cellular network, operators can:
- Take control of streaming video and handle increased data traffic more efficiently, independent of on-network traffic management appliances.
- Free up the network for other operations and grow subscriber count.
- Leverage the demand for streaming video content to their advantage with CORA ME’s AI-driven shaping logic.
- Create streaming-content-focused plans that increase top-line revenue and improve profitability.
- Deliver more streaming video content to subscribers AND drastically lower data delivery and energy costs while improving bandwidth and spectrum utilization.
- Quickly deploy CORA ME to the subscriber base via several scalable and configurable options.
- Obtain valuable anonymized behavior intelligence to understand subscriber streaming behaviors better.
- Utilize Sky Peak Technologies’ technical and marketing support to assist with deployment, provisioning, and adoption.
- Trust that subscribers’ privacy and information are safe. Sky Peak Technologies has completed an initial security assessment based on ISO27001:2022 and OWASP criteria.
