Vantrix Teams with F5 to Showcase Video Optimization During Mobile World Congress 2011

Demonstration to highlight the companies’ solution to the bandwidth crunch

BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- This week during Mobile World Congress, Vantrix, the global leader of mobile video optimization and delivery solutions, will team with F5 Networks, the global leader in Application Delivery Networking, to demonstrate how to substantially reduce the costs of video delivery in mobile networks while providing an outstanding quality of experience for users.

As video becomes a greater part of the daily lives of consumers, they are demanding more from their mobile phone, and in most cases, they are looking to the mobile to replicate or augment their video experiences on the PC. Unfortunately, mobile operator networks are challenged to handle the demand. Vantrix improves the mobile video experience and economics for consumers by substantially reducing the costs and time to deliver high-quality video content.

With Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer and its four mechanisms — Bitrate Throttling, Adaptive Streaming, Transcoding & Transrating and Smart Caching & Proactive Optimization — operators can realize up to 70 percent savings on network CAPEX and OPEX (RAN, backhaul and core) by dynamically monitoring network congestion and substantially reducing the size of videos.

“Video delivery requires very intelligent networks, as demand increases tremendously and exceeds capacity. F5 is the perfect partner for intelligent traffic management to complement Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer,” said Patrick Lopez, CMO at Vantrix.

During Mobile World Congress, F5 will be demonstrating the Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer solution in its booth (Hall 1, Stand 1H.21). Those interested in a personal demo should contact Beverly.Wilks@vantrix.com.

“Vantrix is committed to giving mobile operators more control over their bandwidth so their subscribers have the best mobile video experience on their smartphones and tablets,” said Mike Lee, director, service provider partners at F5. “F5 believes the approach to mobile video optimization needs to be intelligent and support end-to-end delivery. We are proud to be working with Vantrix in supporting a converged architecture.”

Vantrix uses F5’s BIG-IP® products to deliver highly-scalable, carrier-grade infrastructure for real-time intelligent traffic management in its leading Bandwidth Optimization solution. Together, F5 and Vantrix technologies enable mobile operators to cost-effectively address video traffic optimization in virtually any network architecture while providing an outstanding quality of experience for users.
