MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vantrix, the global leader of mobile video optimization and delivery solutions, today announced that the prestigious GSM Association has named Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer a finalist in the “Best Mobile Broadband Technology” category of its annual awards.
“Our congratulations go to all the nominees in this year’s Global Mobile Awards,” said Rob Conway, CEO of the GSMA. “To get down to just 115 nominees across 10 categories, from more than 470 high calibre entries, certainly presented our judges with a tough challenge this year. It is a great achievement to be shortlisted among such a high quality field of entrants and we eagerly anticipate the announcement of the winners at the Mobile World Congress and look forward to showcasing another great year of innovation for the mobile industry.”
“The Global Mobile Awards is the most esteemed program in the wireless industry. Being named a finalist is a testament to Vantrix’s great success in one of the most crucial issues in the wireless industry today – mobile video bandwidth optimization,” said Patrick Lopez, Chief Marketing Officer of Vantrix. “Video has become an integral part of our daily lives. Thanks in part to the ever increasing demand for smart devices, consumers are watching more mobile video than ever before. In fact, it is predicted that by 2015, video will represent more than 70% of ALL mobile traffic. As mobile video becomes ubiquitous, mobile networks are challenged to handle the increasing demand. Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer alleviates this strain and maximizes the mobile operators’ network capacity, by making on-the-fly adjustments to the way video is delivered, while maintaining the best Quality of Experience.”
Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer optimizes on-deck and over-the-top video, and delivers it in real-time while maintaining best-in-class Quality of Experience. Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer provides up to a 70% savings on network CAPEX and OPEX (RAN, backhaul and Core) by monitoring network congestion dynamically and substantially reducing the size of videos. To highlight the benefit of bandwidth optimization, Vantrix has created an interactive tool called the Vantrix Bandwidth Savings Calculator. This tool enables mobile carriers to calculate the savings they can experience by implementing Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer in their network.
