fg microtec's QoSM (Quality of Service Manager) controls, prioritises and optimises data streams and ensures that any multimedia data traffic gets the fastest handling at each point in time depending on the network status. An embedded QoSM provides handset manufacturers with a competitive advantage by giving them the ability to allow complex real-time applications such as high fidelity audio or truly interactive games, to run concurrently and use the handset and network resources to maximize the real time experience for the user.

• Control over mobile phone resources
  manufacturers have control over phone resources i.e. priority for applications or transport protocol congestion


• More efficient use of mobile network resources
  operators have less retransmissions and lost data packages and therefore benefit from higher network efficiency


• Tailored applications
  operators can differentiate themselves by offering tailored services such as video applications to their customers


• Mission-critical application handling
  efficient use of resources for mission-critical applications by ensuring optimal bandwidths and minimum delays for time-sensitive multimedia and voice applications.


• Foundation for all future IP applications
  the right and necessary step towards increasing customer satisfaction by ensuring ultimate real-time multimedia interaction

The primary goal of fg microtec's new QoSM is to provide priority management, transport (or bandwidth) control, and improved loss characteristics required for real-time and interactive applications. The QoSM ensures that priority for one or more application data flow does not result in the failure of other data flows. In addition, fg microtec's PFCTM (Predictive Flow Control) technology can be used to further optimise and improve the flow control.

The QoSM can be embedded into any 2.5G, EDGE or UMTS handset design and delivers the best possible quality, coordination and performance with reduced data transmission times under any network condition and without any server interaction.
