REDWOOD CITY, CA — Qwilt, a leading provider of content delivery and open caching solutions, announced today that Verizon has chosen Qwilt’s Open Caching solution as a next-generation content and application delivery platform that will both improve Quality of Experience (QoE) and enable new applications like AR, VR, and 4K Live Streaming. By deploying Qwilt’s Open Caching solution, Verizon can better scale its global network in response to the dramatic growth of streaming video.

“As demand for data and video services increases, Qwilt’s open caching solution helps our network meet today’s demand as well as creates the scalable network necessary for the future,” said Lee Hicks, Vice President of Network Planning for Verizon. “In fact, we’ve already seen a 20 percent reduction in core traffic in markets where the Qwilt solution is deployed.”
