Key Features
Web Fidelity Service optimizes performance to enable significantly faster, more reliable service to subscribers. Its clientless application-layer optimization dramatically improves the subscriber's web experience. Client software expands the scope of optimization and extends it to high-speed wireless networks. The Bytemobile Handset Optimization Client is compatible with industry-leading security applications.
A Robust, Flexible Platform
Web Fidelity Service operates on industry-standard hardware platforms, providing
- Support for both client and clientless modes in a single platform
- Support for handset optimization in a single platform
- Sophisticated system management capabilities based on SNMP
- High-availability architecture support
Powerful Optimization Features
- Embedded Browser Optimization (EBO) enables leading mobile browser providers to embed Bytemobile optimization techniques natively in their products
- Dynamic bearer personalization allows Web Fidelity Service to apply a different image quality depending on the user's bearer type (2.5G or 3G)
- Optimization personalization allows end users to tune and personalize their level of optimization
- Virtual nodes for enterprise and mobile VPN support enable operators to transparently separate enterprise customers into distinct virtual nodes in support of network-initiated VPNs, using policy-based routing with proper tunneling
- Header enrichment enables enhanced requests with attributes from RADIUS (such as MSISDN/MDN and SGSN address)
WAP 2.0 Gateway Module
Web Fidelity Service includes an industry-standard WAP 2.0 gateway providing features such as these:
- Transparent capture, which enables explicit capture of WAP 2.0 traffic destined for other WAP 2.0 gateways without the need for browser reconfiguration
- Content transcoding, which allows any HTML pages to be transcoded to XHTML/MP pages
- User Agent Profile (UAProf) support and service, providing a way to learn the capabilities of clients and preferences of users
- Image resizing, whereby lossy image optimization for resized images is configurable and target screen size can be obtained from either EBO or HTTP headers or a UAProf and device database
- Content Type Filtering, which allows Web Fidelity Service to block certain mime types being downloaded to handsets, thereby preventing transmission of content that is unsupported or too large for the device
- Header enrichment that enables enhanced requests with attributes from RADIUS
