   Kontron and Anevia Collaborate on a Scalable Reference Solution for Video
                         Delivery at the Network Edge

     A joint offering designed to reduce video traffic in the core through
                          street-ready cache servers

Kontron, a global provider of cloud and carrier-class integrated hardware
platforms, has partnered with Anevia, a leading provider of OTT and IPTV
software solutions, to offer a robust edge caching technology designed to
reduce video traffic in the core network for operators and improve quality of
experience (QoE) for viewers. The solution targets content service providers
(CSPs), telco operators, broadcasters and OTT service providers.

Due to the exponential growth of mobile video content consumption, service
providers and enterprises are seeking better ways to manage video network
traffic. 5G networks are driving greater video consumption, leading to a large
amount of traffic in the network that could result in lower-quality end-user
experiences. In response, Kontron and Anevia have collaborated on a solution
for media and telco markets to embrace a distributed network architecture as a
means to offload video retrieval tasks from the core and move the related data
processing as close to end- users as physically possible.

The combined offering runs Anevia NEA-CDN(r) software on Kontron's ME1100
mobile edge computing servers that are compact enough to fit into street
cabinets - closest to where the viewers of the content reside. The benefits of
having a distributed offloading solution that performs most of the video
caching at edge locations - near mobile phones, tablets, laptops etc. - are
numerous, including lower CapEx and bandwidth costs, easier scalability, and
better user experience due to reduced response times.

The robustness of the ME1100 series makes it particularly appealing for
operators looking to unlock cloud-computing capabilities within the radio
access network (RAN) or enable demanding applications such as artificial
intelligence, data caching, ultra-low latency, and high-bandwidth edge
applications, amongst others. The ruggedised hardware form factor is designed
to withstand extreme temperatures, operate in harsh environments and seamlessly
adapt to the CSP's virtual infrastructure to deliver broadcast-quality video to
end subscribers.

"Telcos increasingly want to optimise the use of their existing infrastructure
by investing in smaller delivery nodes that they can easily add to their
geographically distributed facilities" explains David Tencer, Product Owner,
Anevia. "We're proud to provide a joint video caching solution that allows them
to simply expand the edge of their network, instead of having to change what
already works."

Anevia's NEA-CDN v5 is the first cloud-native private CDN solution. It provides
operators with a centrally orchestrated and elastic CDN, designed to scale on
small caches that can be added and removed seamlessly and cost-effectively to
follow the changing needs of viewers.

"With this kind of solution, everybody wins," says Bertrand Foulon, Business
Development Manager, Video market, Kontron Communications. "We look forward to
working closely with Anevia not only to help operators get really close to
their customers at a lower cost, but also reduce response time and improve
customers' viewing experiences."
