Montreal, Canada, USA - January 12, 2010 - Vantrix, the global leader of mobile video optimization and delivery solutions, today announced that Telenor Norway, a provider of high-quality telecommunications, data and media communication services, has deployed the latest version of Vantrix Message Optimizer. The deployment was secured by Acision as part of Vantrix's participation in the Acision Innovation Network. The solution will enable Telenor to leverage the power of Business Analyzer and Content Filtering, which are value-added modules of Vantrix's industry leading Mediadvance platform.
By deploying the latest version of Message Optimizer, Telenor further differentiates itself in the market with the most robust, dynamic transcoding and optimization of multimedia elements to adapt MMS to the characteristics of the receiving devices, amongst a wide variety of content formats and wireless devices. With the addition of Vantrix Business Analyzer and Content Filtering, Telenor will gain deep insight into mobile subscriber behavior and messaging usage. In addition, thanks to Vantrix Media Controller, up to 99-percent of viruses are filtered from messages delivered into the network.
"Vantrix develops leading and best-in-class solutions for the delivery of mobile content across devices and geographies," said Guttorm Hansen, CTO, for Telenor Norway.
