Korea Telecom deploys Syniverse mobile video broadcast serviceFeb 15, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Syniverse Technologies has announced that Korea Telecom has deployed its new mobile video broadcast service that is interoperable across every 3G and 4G network and device, as well as PCs. This solution allows any mobile user on any network around the globe the ability to receive a live video stream initiated by the mobile device of a KT subscriber - without requiring any new technology, software or application on the receiving mobile handset or PC. One of the primary benefits of the Syniverse Mobile Video Broadcast Service is that capturing and sharing a live stream with friends and family is as easy as sending a text message. "Both consumers and the mobile industry have been readying themselves for mobile video communications for some time, but the key to unlocking widespread uptake is full-scale interoperability," according to Tony Holcombe, President and CEO, Syniverse. "Proprietary systems that only work within the walls of devices or networks have significantly limited the reach and adoption of mobile video communications, but research shows that consumers want ubiquitous video capabilities on their mobile devices as they look beyond communicating via voice, text, data, and photos," Holcombe explained. "Our solution makes video communications available anywhere, anytime, regardless of network or device. Recipients don't need any special downloads to view the video, and we perform on-the-fly dynamic transcoding to adapt screen resolution for each stream, optimizing performance for any network." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
