For the second year in a row, Vantrix is recognized for technology leadership and excellence in media optimization

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vantrix, the global leader of mobile video optimization and delivery solutions, today announced that it has been awarded the 2010 Frost & Sullivan Mobile Video Optimization Solution of the Year Award for Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer. Vantrix was selected as this year’s recipient for its solution’s unique approach to improving mobile operators’ economics, while preserving the end-user experience.

“It is an honor to be recognized, for the second year in a row, by Frost & Sullivan. This award further validates our leadership in mobile video optimization for mobile operators,” said Patrick Lopez, Chief Marketing Officer of Vantrix. “As mobile video continues to take a dominant place in our daily lives, mobile networks are challenged to handle the increasing demand. Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer alleviates this strain and maximizes the mobile operators’ network capacity by making on-the-fly adjustments to the way videos are delivered to end-users. This solution not only stops the ‘waste’ incurred by operators in delivering Internet videos to smartphones, tablets and laptops, but also effectively doubles the capacity of existing network infrastructure, while reducing the OPEX and CAPEX necessary to increase the networks capacity.”

Thanks to iPads, iPhones and Android, people are watching mobile video more than ever before. In fact, it is predicted that by 2015, video will represent more than 70 percent of all mobile traffic. As mobile video becomes ubiquitous, mobile networks are challenged to handle the increasing demand. Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer optimizes all video content and delivers it in real-time to the recipient, while maintaining the best quality of experience. To highlight the benefit of bandwidth optimization, Vantrix has created an interactive tool called the Vantrix Bandwidth Savings Calculator. This tool enables mobile carriers to calculate the savings they can experience by implementing Vantrix Bandwidth Optimizer in their network.

"Mobile video is the single most important contributing cost and savings opportunity in mobile broadband,” said Vikrant Gandhi, Senior Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “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.”
