Plugin Architecture
• Release location lib separately.
• Not part of the package but can be enabled by adding location lib.
• Customer needs to make API calls for integration
© AKAMAI - EDGE 2017
Actionable
• Bitrate tuning and Content Encoding
• ASN opt in for UDP benefits
• Network optimization in ISP
• Granular Demographics for Content targeting
• QOE score for operators
© AKAMAI - EDGE 2017
Ad-Quality
• Ad-transcoding
• Circuit breaker for Ads
• Ad-Targeting
© AKAMAI - EDGE 2017
Some ground to cover
• Users apprehensive about sharing location
data.
• App policy and consent for individualization
with location.
• Permissions for location services.
• MA and NEA is not one portal today.
