Enabling scalable and secure connectivity, optimized service delivery, and profitable new services
With a projected 50 billion connected devices by 2020 (Cisco/Intel)—or seven devices for each person on the planet—securing and managing the Internet of Things (IoT) will become even more crucial. Operators will need to scale networks to handle rapid growth of data traffic and corresponding signaling traffic increases. They will also need to offer secure connectivity to support new service and business models.
The F5 Synthesis™ architecture supports the service provider ecosystem with carrier-grade solutions around intelligent traffic management, Diameter and signaling traffic management, multi-layer security, and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) for secure, dynamic, and tight network control. These solutions enable operators to evolve their networks cost-effectively, ensuring optimized network services and enhanced Quality of Experience (QoE) for subscribers—while still driving new revenues.
F5 is the only vendor to provide flexibility at the network, control, and application levels, enabling deep service customization that can be monetized.

“NFV-enabled elastic network infrastructure is essential for rapid
services deployment and scaling on demand.
Dr.
“For the Internet of Things to function and grow, it requires the capabilities NFV provides to enable services that the IoT can interact with. Partners like F5 are a critical part of the NFV ecosystem that will make it possible for carriers to improve the IoT experience for businesses and consumers.”
“Openness, programmability, and orchestration are key to realizing NFV to improve service velocity. As a member of our ecosystem, we are happy to partner with F5 to validate NFV solutions and by leveraging F5’s intelligent traffic management and dynamic security solutions that empower the Internet of Things.”
“We look forward to showcasing
“In our view, F5 was the first in the industry to focus on NFV for Layer 4 through Layer 7 services across the data, signaling, and application planes—with the aim of helping providers with flexible scaling and rapid service introductions.”
“Mobile operators are evolving to support the staggering number of devices that will eventually be connected to the Internet of Things, and to handle expanding data consumption demands. At the same time, they are transforming to more virtualized, software-driven, and cloud-based infrastructures to improve on efficiency, scale, and pace of innovation. F5 has innovated to help operators by embracing virtualization for the key elements of its portfolio, and by enabling its solutions across a wide range of service automation frameworks. F5 is proving it can be an enabler of application delivery in a broad array of operator environments.”
“F5’s ‘optimize, secure, and monetize’ approach and solutions address service providers’ multi-technology, multi-vendor network complexity challenges through: interoperability with different network protocols and signaling, context-aware capabilities and traffic management, and an end-to-end secure service delivery architecture. The carrier-grade NFV versions of its solutions bolster its support for service providers moving toward a virtualized next-generation network.”
“New mobility ecosystems characterized by network-connected electronic devices, the rise of the Internet of Things, and the industry shift towards Network Functions Virtualization further complicate the LTE security landscape. F5’s mission is to secure devices, users, networks, and applications in these advanced scenarios.”
