DNS Solutions for Telecom
The solution empowers operators to build high-quality networks, balancing user experience upgrades with sustainable growth.
Key trends like 5G, IoT, and ultra-HD video are driving the need for more stable, secure, and intelligent carrier networks. The DNS system, acting as the primary entry point for internet traffic, is foundational to ensuring a high-quality user experience and maintaining uninterrupted business operations for operators.Telecom operators currently face these key challenges:
Billions of user devices generate a massive volume of DNS queries, overwhelming traditional systems and causing delays, especially during peak hours, which degrades the online experience.
When users connect across different provider networks and regions, DNS often fails to find the best path. This leads to high costs for the operator and wastes internet backbone capacity.
Attacks like DDoS, DNS hijacking, and cache poisoning are common. Older security methods can't stop these large-scale, complex attacks, putting the operator's core services at risk.
With DNS equipment spread out everywhere, it's hard to manage configurations consistently. This inefficiency makes it difficult to keep up with the fast pace of new service deployment.
Operators must meet strict rules on data and privacy while also cutting down on energy use and ongoing costs to ensure their business can grow sustainably.
Tailored for the telecommunications industry, this solution is built on the core principles of "High Performance, High Security, and High Intelligence," establishing a comprehensive DNS service system to help operators achieve the following objectives:
Leveraging intelligent resolution and cache optimization technologies to reduce access latency and improve web page loading speeds, thereby supporting the growth of latency-sensitive services like HD video streaming and online gaming.
Dynamically adjusts resolution policies based on user geography and carrier link status to minimize cross-network traffic, reducing interconnection settlement costs.
Implements a multi-layered protection system to defend against threats such as DDoS attacks and domain hijacking, ensuring DNS service high availability and user data security.
Utilizes a centralized management platform for unified configuration and real-time monitoring of distributed nodes, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing labor costs.
To meet the high-bandwidth demands of 5G users, intelligent DNS resolution dynamically directs user requests to edge CDN nodes, reducing backbone network congestion. With regional caching and adaptive cache update technologies, the solution minimizes video startup delays and improves cache hit rates, delivering smoother streaming experiences.
When users access resources across different networks, real-time link quality and load conditions are analyzed to prioritize resolution within the same carrier network, minimizing cross-network hops. Multi-exit intelligent scheduling further reduces interconnect traffic, helping operators lower annual settlement costs.
To defend against sudden large-scale DDoS attacks, a multi-layered protection framework—including link-level rate limiting and advanced emergency modes—ensures continuous service availability. The kernel-level security engine mitigates malicious high-concurrency traffic, achieving service availability of up to 99.999%.
For massive IoT device access, DNS and DHCP integration enables precise device identification and policy enforcement. A centralized management platform automates IP address allocation and secure access control, significantly improving operational efficiency and network visibility.
A distributed Anycast architecture and cache-recursion separation design ensure seamless failover in the event of single-node failures, enhancing system availability and meeting carrier-grade SLA requirements.
Intelligent resolution strategies optimize user access paths, reducing average response times to the millisecond level. Faster page loading improves overall user satisfaction and drives higher NPS (Net Promoter Score) for operators.
By integrating DNSSEC validation and threat intelligence collaboration, the solution blocks over 99% of malicious traffic while ensuring full compliance with the Cybersecurity Law and related regulatory standards.
A centralized visual management platform enables one-click policy deployment and fault localization, reducing operational manpower and energy consumption to support green and low-carbon operations.
A scalable and flexible design supports smooth IPv6 migration and edge computing integration, providing a forward-looking foundation for emerging 5G-A and 6G service scenarios.
