Project description
Innovative infrastructure for over-the-top services
In an increasingly digitalised and connected world, service providers are tasked with adding more and more digital services to existing hardware resources, usually broadband routers. Deployment of these so-called over-the-top (OTT) services such as antivirus programmes, Internet of Things protection, voice over internet protocol, video on demand and more is slow and expensive, and often requires costly and time-consuming router upgrading. The EU-funded ViSOT project will support the Israeli SME Inango Systems in preparing the commercialisation plan for its cost-effective suite of OTT services for small offices and homes. The innovation’s layered architecture will streamline automation and operations and significantly decrease service provider operating costs.
Objective
ViSOT is an IT infrastructure to run virtualized services, specifically Over-The-Top (OTT) services, which are delivered to the users by means of their existing hardware resources, usually broadband routers. OTT services refers to those services which are used over the network services of a service provider, for instance Skype (Voice over IP), WhatsApp (messaging) or Netflix (video on demand). In the ViSOT project, OTT services are executed on a central server, which communicates the data and control to the local network by means of a small agent deployed on the router. OTT service is not a transmission network, but is instead a service that runs over an Internet network; moreover, the OTT service provider is typically distinct from the operator of the underlying network. Therefore, the router stores and executes this light software. In turn, software agent on the router transfers the data to the corresponding device linked to the router.
The ViSOT project is based on two novelty technologies: Service-Defined Networking (SDN) and Open Network Operating System (ONOS). It also has two well-defined sides: server and router. The server side which executes the services is implemented as an ONOS plug-in, providing a seamless integration in to virtualized environment or work as stand-alone system. The layered architecture streamlines automation and operations by decoupling the network data plane (the networking infrastructure) from the network control plane (the control logic) and by providing abstract, system-wide application programming interfaces (APIs).
We estimate that costs for OTT services to final users will decrease in 10%-15% for an average of 4 services per provider, due to these services are virtualized on the server, allowing service providers to improve their revenues, take back the customer relationship and restore average revenue per user growth. This will augment the end users’ satisfaction and, therefore, it will improve engagement and retention.
