The latest generation of mobile phones that include micro browsers (e.g. Opera, Internet Explorer) can now provide solutions based on standard Web technology. With features and functionality that consumers will be more willing to adopt than the slower WAP or proprietary solutions previously offered. In addition, by using HTML based publishing for dynamic mobile data services, support costs are reduced by synchronizing the publishing methods for phone content with the carriers existing Web infrastructure. For mobile operators there is the significant additional advantage in having a single platform, more flexible in its deployment of services and which provides a lower cost of deployment for consumer mobile services. |

Developing new Live “Pushed” Services |
|
| |
|
Even before the addition of Web based services for
smart phones, mobile platforms were already using native push technology with SMS for text and MMS for images. While SMS is certainly suitable for instant messaging, it is somewhat limited in capacity and presentation diversity.
Now with Lightstreamer, it is possible to expand the live data services offered to mobile ‘smartphone’ consumers with very little overhead, using a real HTML push solution (not simulated or polling). Lightstreamer can automatically update from the server each single field of an HTML page viewed by the mobile browser, without the need to download external components (Java applets/midlets, plug-ins or applications).
 |
Define a new service that requires live data |
|
Implement the data feed integration at the central server for the desired service |
|
Immediately deploy this service anywhere in the world without having to do anything to the mobile device |

Lightstreamer Bandwidth Allocation & Management |
|
| |
|
The low bandwidth requirements and Lightstreamer’s unique
automatic adaptive control of the TCP network makes Lightstreamer indispensable for streaming/pushing data through Internet wireless connections (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, WI-FI). It can in fact modulate the bandwidth required to push data as a function of the available bandwidth at any instant. This means that whenever the network quality decreases, Lightstreamer reduces the update frequency through heuristic filters. In this way, the user always receives new data, independent from the connection speed available at any instant in time.
In addition, there is the facility to define the bandwidth control for each individual user. Whereby different service levels (e.g. standard, premium, gold) corresponding to utilized bandwidth (and consequently price) are controlled. Depending on the type of chosen service level, individually assigned
maximum bandwidth, data update frequency and message filtering, are set-up for each user access.

Types of Live Pushed Services |
|
| |
|
The diversity and scope for the potential application of Lightstreamer technology is endless. It relates to any application area where it is necessary to update users with real-time information.
Some example applications are:
|
Webmail for Smartphones (providing similar services to RIM “Blackberry”) |
|
RSS News feed subscription services (Finance, Sport, etc.) |
|
Chat & Instant Messaging via HTML (On-line communites) |
|
Polls, Consumer surveys |
|
Public Administration (Traffic, Civil Protection, Storm warning, Earthquake etc.) |
|
Remote monitoring (Systems Management, Alerts, etc.) |
