Verizon (NYSE:VZ) has chosen Qwilt's Open Caching solution as a content and application delivery platform to improve quality of experience (QoE) and enable new applications like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and 4K live streaming.
"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% reduction in core traffic in markets where the Qwilt solution is deployed."

"Qwilt's open caching solution results in an open architecture and an intelligent network for content and application delivery. We're excited to work with Verizon to extend the reach and scale of our open caching solution and meet growing demand for online video services."
