MONTREAL & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vantrix, the global leader of mobile video optimization and delivery solutions, today announced the commercial availability of Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer, the premier media optimization and bandwidth management solution for mobile video.

Over the last several months, reports from industry analysts and telecom equipment vendors have highlighted an impending threat on mobile networks. Mobile data traffic is to grow exponentially over the next several years and video is the main source of this surge. While most operators will see a moderate increase in their revenues from data (less than 50%), they will need to manage 50 to 100 times more video traffic on their networks.

Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer lets network operators capitalize on the growing “mobile data tsunami” by providing up to 50% savings of CAPEX and OPEX for data delivery.

“There are inherent inefficiencies in mobile video delivery today,” said Patrick Lopez, Chief Marketing Officer, Vantrix. “Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer stops the waste incurred by operators in delivering videos to mobiles, tablets and laptops and can effectively double the capacity of an existing network infrastructure.”

Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer provides unique functionalities and mechanisms for the transcoding, transrating, caching and streaming of video over mobile networks. This technology is a core competency developed and patented by Vantrix over the last 5 years and has been implemented commercially in various mobile video deployments.

Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer is part of a suite of products offered to converged operators; key features include:

• Savings of between 30 – 70% of cost of delivering mobile video
• The ability to double the capacity of an existing network infrastructure
• Allows better Quality of Experience
• Addresses on deck and off deck content for mobile, tablets and laptops

“Vantrix patented technology enables us to reduce the cost and size of video, while retaining the best perceived quality,” continued Lopez. “This data tsunami is not going to go away- in fact it is growing daily and no network can contemplate such growth in a profitable manner without Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer.”
