FG Microtec claims to reduce MMS transmission times

"FG Microtec has announced a predictive flow control (PFC) software solution which it claims can reduce picture message transmission times by as much as 35 percent. The system works by analysing the flow of data over the air interface and optimising the data transmission to minimise the amount of information which needs to be resent.

In addition to reducing the time taken to send a MMS, it also reduces power consumption. FG Microtec is licensing the software for integration into mobile handsets at the chipset level. "
