Embedded Virtual Subscriber for handset applications

As handsets evolve, a growing number of applications are installed on smartphones and 3G devices to enable PC-like experiences.

The Embedded Virtual Subscriber is installed on the handset itself, enabling the emulation and monitoring of all human interfaces and activities, including key strokes, screen captures, audio and video.

In addition, the Embedded Virtual Subscriber enables full control over handset resources (GPS information, CPU and memory consumption, processes run, etc.). The Embedded Virtual Subscriber has low foot-print and low resource consumption and therefore does not influence the performance of the handset.
