MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Bytemobile, Inc., the global leader in mobile internet solutions for wireless
network operators, today announced its new Lossless Media Optimization
application. Deployed on the Unison Mobile Internet Platform, this application
is designed to reduce the impact of explosive growth in video usage on
operators` networks while contributing to an improved user experience. As a
cost-effective solution for operators concerned about escalating multimedia
traffic, Lossless Media Optimization requires minimal hardware investment,
supports all popular video types, and in no way affects video quality. 

The clientless Lossless Media Optimization application enables operators to
efficiently manage network resources by streamlining the delivery of all video
and other multimedia while maintaining maximum transparency to the end user. The
application adjusts the video transmission rate to remain in line with actual
video play time - without degradation of quality - and ensures that bandwidth
consumption on the network is the minimum required for a continuous video
stream. As a result, operators are able to support more subscribers and more
data traffic without extensive investments in new spectrum, base stations,
backhaul, and other infrastructure equipment. 

"Media Optimization is becoming a critical component in operators` arsenal to
control costs associated with serving the fast-growing network demands of
multimedia traffic," said Joel Brand, vice president of Product Management at
Bytemobile. "In some networks, video has already surpassed web browsing as the
dominant form of data traffic. The Lossless Media Optimization application was
designed to be a simple add-on to Bytemobile`s Web Optimization solution which
has already been successfully deployed by 111 operators worldwide." 

Recent trials of the Lossless Media Optimization by tier-one operators in Europe
and Asia have shown that the application supports 25-30% data reduction across
all video traffic on the network. When deployed together with Bytemobile`s Lossy
Media Optimization and Web Optimization applications, operators can realize as
much as a 50% reduction in their overall data traffic.
