Founded in 2012, Cloudstreet is a Nokia-incubated telecom Network Slicing innovator from Finland dedicated to revolutionizing the mobile experience, empowering user choice and driving new mobile operator revenues by leading the transition to Application-Aware Networks. Leveraging the power of Software Defined Networks and Network Function Virtualization (SDN/NFV) Cloudstreet’s Dynamic Profile Controller™ (DPC™) offers the world’s first in-market, commercially available Dynamic Network Slicing platform and a low-cost, high-return solution for delivering bandwidth-assured mobile content and data to any user, application or device in real time. The Cloudstreet solution includes an iOS and Android app or application library that allows user or machine requests for reserved, reliability-assured slices of the mobile network for any device or app via the Cloudstreet DPC™. If granted, these requests trigger the activation of pre-defined profiles to deliver optimized capacity/latency performance levels for any given user equipment (UE). These dynamic profile change requests may be based on users or groups of users, applications, devices, location and/or time depending on the context, to provide for near unlimited use of profile-based service provisioning determined by the operator.

The telecom sector finds itself at the very epicenter of technological innovation and disruption. As the very fiber and backbone (literally and figuratively) of the modern digital lifestyle, telecom, and specifically mobile telecom is central to enabling the essential new paradigms of IPTV and OTT video, IoT, M2M, Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality and an array of data and bandwidth-intensive applications that are increasingly sensitive to availability and time delay. But with every challenge comes and opportunity and with this sea change promises to directly address the flat to negative revenue line that most carriers have been grappling with for the last decade. Cloudstreet directly addresses these challenges by allowing MNOs to define, manage and deliver customer-oriented, application-aware Quality-of-Experience / Quality-of-Service (QoE/QoS) while effectively orchestrating network traffic and data demand. This opens up the opportunity to sell premium, assured connectivity for a burgeoning world of mobile-connected devices and their users well in advance of 5G.

Thus the Cloudstreet DPC™ and associated network and device elements provide carriers both a critical path from 4G to 5G and a lucrative new business model to support and justify those investments. The ability to create and deploy new dedicated, reliable mobile connectivity services dynamically based on virtualized network slices is the core capability behind Cloudstreet’s Application-Aware Network which offers mobile operators significant new revenue streams in 4G and a clear path to 5G. The first and most important impact of Cloudstreet is to allow mobile operators the ability to increase available bandwidth and with that a massive jump in reliability to 99.999%.

Winner of the European Union’s coveted Horizon 2020 grant, and awarded Best Connectivity Solution for IoT by the World Communications Awards in 2016, Cloudstreet provides a cost-effective, revenue-generating, cost reducing virtualized telecom platform for a world of applications spanning IPTV/OTT Mobile Video, AR/VR, IoT, M2M, Video Conferencing, Healthtech, Public Safety/Critical Communications and Smart Cities.
