Operating a mobile content delivery network, or mobile CDN, is an increasingly difficult task in today’s highly connected world. A mobile CDN must not only accommodate a rapidly growing variety of devices, but increasingly complex content as well, from dynamically generated content to streaming video. Bandwidth can be an issue, too – especially with rising user expectations for fast, reliable and engaging mobile experiences.
