Flash Networks’ latest QoE service running on the Harmony modular platform enables the mobile Internet to become a popular destination for users and a source of competitive advantage, revenues and customer loyalty for operators”.
Open Mobile Browsing Capabilities
Flash Networks Open Mobile Browsing speeds up browsing and downloads by applying several patented optimization capabilities based on the specific download requirements, device capabilities and current network conditions. Each and every element on the web page is analyzed and adapted to the smaller screen giving prominence to more important elements while automatically identifying and passing over mobile aware sites.
Viewing of video is enabled by transcoding Internet video streams to mobile formats. Frame rate is continuously adjusted based on available bandwidth, latency, and noise conditions ensuring video quality, smoothness, and picture sharpness.
Operators can brand the user experience by defining headers, footers, messages, titles, text attributes and backgrounds. In addition subscribers can mirror desktop browsing habits with favorites and history including look & feel settings, preferred skin, image size and font size.
