Dilithium will offer a highly integrated solution comprising Dilithium Networks H.324M/3G-324M stack on the Symbian Operating System, enabling rapid prototyping and production of 3G video enabled phones. The H.324M protocol is an ITU-T standard which has been adopted by both 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards bodies to enable real-time streaming and conversational video services over wireless networks.

“The Symbian platform is being selected by a broad segment of the handset market. We are pleased to offer a solution which enables our 3G-324M protocol stack to be integrated with the Symbian Operating System”, said Dr. Marwan Jabri, co-founder and chief technology officer of Dilithium Networks. Dilithium Networks’ H.324M/3G-324M multimedia stack, and the Dilithium Networks Analyzer (DNA) – a H.324M/3G-324M protocol analysis and test tool, are industry standards that are used by a majority of operators and handset vendors today. The Dilithium Networks’ H.324M/3G-324M protocol stack includes AnswerFastTM, a patent-pending technology which reduces call setup time for video calls by up to 50% and therefore enhances user experience.

The availability of the Dilithium Networks solution on Symbian will facilitate time to market for 3G handset vendors. Dilithium Network’s H.324M protocol stack is a mature solution available commercially since 1999. It is modular, highly interoperable and has a low memory footprint. Dilithium Networks also offers professional services and support to assist 3G handset vendors to achieve rapid prototyping of next generation products.
