Helix Mobile GatewayCross-Platform, Multi-Format and Carrier-Grade

Mobile operators want to provide not only mobile-specific content, but also allow their subscribers to access the vast amounts of delivery-ready content available on the Internet. Helix Mobile Gateway when deployed at central and gateway nodes gets you there, by improving end user quality and eliminating redundant transmissions to traffic sensitive nodes.

In addition to providing full Helix Mobile Server functionality, Helix Mobile Gateway is a streaming media proxy-cache that manages media within the mobile operator network. It enables operators to pull content from the general Internet and rebroadcast it, as requested by users with high quality and reduced latency. Helix Mobile Gateway also minimizes redundant connections out to the Internet for live content. Future features of this product may include bit-rate and layout optimization by device, as well as some subscriber access functionality.

Helix Mobile Gateway is a core component of the Helix Media Delivery System for Mobile — the leading cross-platform, multi-format software suite designed to enable carrier-grade digital media applications and services. It serves as the streaming media infrastructure for over 75 key broadband and mobile operators around the world.

REDUCE IN-BOUND BANDWIDTH
Helix Mobile Gateway eliminates redundant data transmission between the Internet and the servers hosting the content resulting in significant savings in bandwidth to receive in-bound content.

REDUCE DELIVERY LATENCY
Helix Mobile Gateway reduces distance traveled for subsequent media files, which reduces end-user latency for content served out of cache.

PROVIDE SECURITY
Just like other proxy servers, Helix Mobile Gateway products mask the IP address of your internal users thus providing additional security.

IMPROVE END-USER PLAYBACK
Helix Mobile Gateway aids in caching and splitting content closer to the end-user, thus reducing transmission problems.

OPTIMIZE MEDIA FOR MOBILE NETWORKS
Helix Mobile Gateway is optimized for delivery of all major file formats to any wireless network, including EV-DO, GPRS, UMTS, EDGE, WCDMA, CDMA2000 and 802.11b-WiFi. With the broadest support for mobile delivery standards, including support for live streaming of 3GPP (H.263 and H.264) content, Helix Mobile Server is the number one choice for the mobile environment.

INCREASE ARPU
With features such as Play Now and True Live, users enjoy a better experience than ever before with IP-based media. Better experience means more usage and more usage means higher Average Revenue Per User.

IMPROVE MANAGEABILITY
Helix Mobile Gateway can improve manageability with new features like SNMP v3 support, extended client statistics and client connection cleanup. Real-time remote monitoring, notifications and server configuration updates improve remote manageability and can be fine-tuned for better control.

ASSURE NEXT GENERATION NETWORKING SUPPORT
Helix Mobile Gateway supports next generation protocols such as IP v6 for greater reach. This assures interoperability with next generation IP v6 network environments and supports an heterogeneous IPV4/IPV6 environment.

STANDARDS BASED
Helix Mobile Gateway complies with 3GPP Release 6, including:
- IETF RFC 2326 compliant implementation of RTSP over TCP
- Supports HTTP delivery of JPEG, GIF 87a, GIF 89a, SMIL 2.0
- IETF RFC 2327 compliant implementation of SDP for RTSP DESCRIBE
- MP4 and 3GP file format support AMR wideband support
- Dynamic Packetization

MAXIMUM END-TO-END BANDWIDTH UTILIZATION
Helix Mobile Gateway can automatically adjust data bit-rates based on network congestion to provide a better experience for your customers. The result is increased media service usage and higher value for your mobile customers.

EXTEND YOUR REACH TO INCLUDE MORE PLATFORMS, PROTOCOLS & FORMATS
Helix Mobile Gateway delivers data across any mobile network and supports devices over GSM, CDMA, EDGE, UMTS, WCDMA, 1xEV-DO and beyond, making it is most flexible server available to support your current and future growth plans.

Choose the only digital media server with universal support for live and on-demand delivery of all major file formats, including RealAudio and RealVideo, H.264, Windows Media, QuickTime, MP3 and others.

Helix Mobile Gateway supports majority of leading internet protocols, standards, networks and devices; 3GPP, 3GPP2, IPv6, RTSP via HTTP v1.1, SNMP v3; H264, AAC, AAC+, MPEG4; GSM, CDMA, EDGE, IP, Wi-Fi, 1xEV-DO; LINUX, SYMBIAN, Windows CE, SmartPhones, JAVA, Nokia s60.

With best of standards and best of internet format and protocols support, you can consolidate multiple media infrastructures onto a single platform. Can your server do that? Ours can!

ASSURE NEXT GENERATION NETWORKING SUPPORT
Helix Mobile Gateway supports next generation protocols such as IP v6 for greater reach. This assures interoperability with next generation IP v6 network environments and supports an heterogeneous IPV4/IPV6 environment.
