The new service, which is implemented on Bytemobile’s Unison Multi-Service Platform within the network, will enable operators to deliver high-quality internet video, user-generated content and branded media to subscribers on all mobile devices with standard media players.
Unison Media Fidelity Service will support handset access to video on demand and streaming video in all formats, while adapting the content to device and media player capabilities. Operators will be able to optimize their existing portal video services and offer subscribers a full range of internet multimedia content, including music and TV.
Through a proprietary technology called dynamic bandwidth shaping, the service will continuously monitor network conditions and dynamically adapt video and other rich multimedia content to optimize the user experience. This technology will minimize buffer time, pauses and other latency effects for the subscriber, thereby eliminating the frustration historically associated with mobile video access. It will also protect the operator’s network from service degradation or outages due to bandwidth constraints.
Unison Media Fidelity Service is scheduled to be available for commercial deployment worldwide on the Unison Multi-Service Platform in October 2007.
