Software boosts camera phone efficiency
The fmM1251 embedded software solution reduces transmission times for MMS pictures on GPRS camera phones, reducing energy consumption though more efficient usage of the air interface.
The introduction of WAP 2.0 as the new wireless transport protocol for small mobile devices is taking mobile data services to the next level and making real wireless internet come true.
This next generation standard contains two significant new components - the mark-up language XHTML and, most importantly, wireless TCP and HTTP.
The latter provides optimised versions of the Internet TCP and HTTP protocols for more efficient delivery of content over wireless networks.

fgMIM is an instant messaging building block including a voice over IP application powered by fg microtec's PFC data acceleration technology.
fg microtec's new fmM1252 is capable of tuning both transport protocols - WAP and wireless TCP - to achieve higher throughput rates by predicting network behaviour to determine best transmission parameters dynamically under any network condition.
Whatever the prevalent conditions - whether the GPRS network is empty or busy, whether the user is moving between cells, whether he or she is moving fast or is stationary, or other influential factors such as server congestion - the fmM1252 will predict the effects on the network and adapt the WAP or wireless TCP protocols dynamically in order to optimise data throughput.
And it will do that for any handset design, right across the entire price spectrum.
By eliminating the chance element and increasing the reliability and quality of service for mobile data transmissions, the fmM1252 considerably enhances user experience and helps drive the adoption of new wireless data services.
High quality MMS pictures with 300Kbyte data sizes, colourful MPEG video clips, MP3 music files can all be transmitted in the best possible way due to fg microtec's new predictive and adaptive technology.
"One of the most important aspects for the widespread acceptance of new mobile data services is user experience and consistent quality under any network condition.
By implementing the predictive fmM1252 tuning software in today's GPRS phones device manufacturers and network operators can offer users unparalleled quality of service by delivering not only faster but also much more consistent and reliable services", said Ramin Mirbaha, Managing Director at fg microtec.
