Spanish telecommunications operator Telefónica has selected Cisco to support the new mobile video pilot in Spain.
The trial is designed to deliver mobile video services across both Wi-Fi and 3G networks.
Telefónica España pilot is built upon the Cisco ASR 5000 architecture, a network application designed to help service providers deal with the growth in mobile broadband services by delivering improved performance in capacity, throughput, and transaction rates.
Cisco ASR 5000 platform is a part of Cisco Mobile Videoscape application, an architecture that can recognise different traffic flows, which allows it to shape and manage traffic while interacting with applications to deliver improved video experiences to any device, over any network, anytime, anywhere.
The mobile video pilot will also enable users to stream videos to mobile devices with no disruption in service even when switching from a Wi-Fi network to a 3G signal, the company said.
Cisco and Telefónica are working with GreenPacket, a provider of mobile broadband and network services, to deliver the pilot, which is currently being tested on Android mobile devices and Windows 7 laptops.
