Smart Capacity™ for Video

Advantages of Video Optimization White Paper

Bytemobile is the global market leader in mobile video solutions for network operators, with more live deployments than any other provider and 43 operators under contract. The company’s video optimization and caching applications enable operators to manage escalating multimedia traffic with existing network capacity. As a result, they can deliver superior quality of experience (QoE) to their subscribers – with minimal video stalling – even through peak periods of network usage and congestion.

Bytemobile video optimization solutions have demonstrated 55-60% reduction of video traffic. This releases capacity to support more traffic from existing or new subscribers with consistent QoE for the bandwidth-intensive multimedia applications most in demand. Improved capacity utilization is critical as mobile video evolves from short, low-quality, user-generated clips to full-length, high-definition (HD), premium content – and from progressive downloads to streaming media.

Bytemobile applies a number of proprietary and patented techniques to the management of multimedia traffic on mobile networks:

Lossless Video Optimization, which reduces traffic without altering video quality. See how Lossless Video Optimization reduces traffic without altering video quality.
Just-in-Time Delivery, which minimizes wasted traffic due to unviewed downloads
Lossy Video Optimization, which improves video encoding according to the network and the device
Quality-Aware Transcoding, which delivers video in the most efficient codec without degrading quality
Dynamic Bandwidth Shaping, which matches the video bit rate with available bandwidth to reduce stalling and increase QoE. See how Dynamic Bandwidth Shaping matches the video bit rate with available bandwidth to reduce stalling and improve quality of experience (QoE).
Video Caching, which reduces video traffic by up to 40%, improving access efficiency, saving bandwidth and cost, reducing hardware requirements, and increasing QoE

Key features of video optimization include streaming policy control for all major video and audio services, HD video optimization and video caching with adaptive optimization – all of which increase network efficiency and enhance multimedia content delivery. Bytemobile also offers reporting metrics which give operators broad visibility into the video traffic on their networks.
