As mobile video takes a dominant place in our lives, mobile networks are challenged to handle the increasing demand. It is predicted that by 2016, Video will generate 71% of all mobile data traffic1.
Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer optimizes all video in real-time while maintaining the best Quality of Experience. Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer provides up to 70% saving on network CAPEX and OPEX (RAN, backhaul and Core) by monitoring network congestion dynamically and substantially reducing the size of videos. At the heart of Vantrix bandwidth Optimizer are four features that ensure the best quality of experience: Bitrate Throttling, Adaptive Streaming, Transcoding & Transrating and Smart Caching & Proactive Optimization:
Vantrix Bitrate Throttling delivers video proportionally to the video encoding rate. By optimizing the usage of bandwidth, bitrate throttling avoids the waste of network resources. Bitrate Throttling offers a reduction of bandwidth of up to 70% by delivering video content just in time. Furthermore, this not only saves precious bandwidth resources, but also improves the end-user experience by enabling more simultaneous users to experience uninterrupted video viewing.

Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer Adaptive Streaming capabilities allow optimization across all network conditions. The video encoding rate is modified on the fly, on each individual video session, by opening, decoding and re-encoding each stream to the actual frame rate/bitrate most suitable for the network conditions at that particular point in time. As the quality of the connection deteriorates, Adaptive Streaming lowers the media encoding rate in real time and then smoothly increases it when conditions improve.
Vantrix Transcoding is the ability of Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer to change the codec and/or the resolution of a video to adapt for different screens and devices. Vantrix Transrating is the unique patented ability of Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer to change the encoding rate of a video while keeping the same codec and resolution without a full transcoding operation; resulting in significant hardware savings. Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer employs transcoding and transrating techniques to save up to 70% of video traffic with support for over 15,000 profiles, including the Apple iPad and iPhone.
Vantrix Smart Caching and Proactive Optimization enable the storage of source media, as well as the storage of transrated and transcoded versions of that same media for carriers to save up to 50%+ cost of video delivery on the backbone.
Mobile video is the single most important contributing cost and savings opportunity in mobile broadband. With Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer, Vantrix guarantees that mobile network operators will be able to face the increasing demand and complexity in delivering video services while reducing costs and improving the end-user’s experience. Because of its impressive performance in this space, Frost & Sullivan is pleased to present to Vantrix the 2010 Mobile Video Optimization Solution of the Year Award.
