The
reality is that mobile carriers have to seek today solutions to
deal with the expanding mobile Internet and specifically the increasing
use of mobile video applications. There's no magic bullet, but with
a combined approach to adjusting carrier infrastructure and content
delivery strategies, the industry will be able to curb the skyrocketing
network congestion problem.
So
where do we go from here? How do we satisfy the needs of consumers
who are increasingly using mobile video, while ensuring that operators
do not significantly increasing CAPEX or OPEX? The answer is Bandwidth
Optimization.
Vantrix
Bandwidth Optimizer optimizes all on-deck and over-the-top video
content and delivers it in real-time while maintaining the highest
quality user experience. For the mobile operator, Vantrix Bandwidth
Optimizer removes the congestion on their wireless networks thus
freeing up bandwidth and offsetting investments in network infrastructure
expansion. The solution also allows the operator to manage and control
the video content that is provided directly by content providers;
this can lead to the creation of quality of service levels based
on policy-setting and enforcement. For the consumer, the end result
is the elimination of video jitter and pauses in video playback,
making for a much better user experience.
Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer unique ability to utilize the following
features to help deliver content for an uninterrupted user experience.
Vantrix
Bitrate Throttling - Bitrate throttling is a powerful feature
that works in tandem with HTTP delivery methods to provide just-in-time
delivery of video content, thereby optimizing the usage of bandwidth
and avoiding waste of network resources.
Vantrix
Adaptive Streaming - Using Deep Media Inspection, Bandwidth
Optimizer provides RTSP streaming optimization across all network
conditions using adaptive streaming techniques. The video bitrate
is modified "on-the-fly" on every individual video session
by opening, decoding and re-encoding each RTSP stream to the actual
frame rate / bitrate most adapted to the network conditions for
that particular point in time.
Vantrix
Transcoding and Transrating - Transcoding and transrating techniques
can save up to 70% of traffic, doing both network and device level
optimization thanks to support for over 15,000 device profiles,
including iPhone and Android devices. Transrating is the ability
for Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer to only change the encoding rate
of a video i.e. no codec or resolution changes. Vantrix employs
patent-pending transrating techniques that allow better performance
and hardware utilization. Transcoding is the ability for Vantrix
Bandwidth Optimizer to change the codec in order to best adapt the
content for the native capabilities of the terminating device, all
while providing compression for more effective bandwidth usage.
Vantrix
Smart Caching - Smart Caching enables real-time decision-making
regarding the most efficient use of bandwidth when it comes to popular
content. Various levels of caching can be invoked, including the
storage of the source media but also the storage of device-specific
versions of that same media.
