It can also help operators ensure the integrity of their networks by providing a set of mechanisms to prevent malware and other types of malicious or unsolicited multimedia content from reaching subscribers.

"In order for network operators to introduce innovative services and business models such as mobile advertising they need a solution that is able to manage multimedia traffic efficiently," said Patrick Lopez, Chief Marketing Officer for Vantrix. "Media Controller is an effective way for operators to offer subscribers a level of security and control, while still introducing revenue-driving applications and solutions including mobile advertising."

Media Controller is an integral component of the company's core software platform, Mediadvance, on which all Vantrix products and solutions are built. This approach provides Vantrix customers with a single point for the management, provisioning and administration of all their multimedia services. Network operators benefit by being better able to deliver more multimedia content including MMS, Music, Videos, Mobile TV, Web TV, Cable TV and User Generated Content.
