US
/ ASIA : NMS Communications announced mobile operator CSL has launched
Hong Kong's first 3G mobile TV service with an application developed
by Golden Dynamic and powered by NMS's mobile video technology.
Golden Dynamic's
"VOIR Portal" is an avant-garde gadget on a 3G service platform
that allows mobile operators to increase average revenue per user
(ARPU) among users, create customer loyalty and offer distinct brand
differentiation through truly interactive content. Content owners
can make use of the VOIR platform to enable business with 3G capability.
VOIR provides a standard platform that offers a simple user interface
requiring minimal "clicks" to access video content, a complete
revolution from the traditional experience of browsing through WAP
menus on mobile phones. VOIR can be customized to meet the different
needs of telecom operators or content owners. The VOIR portal is powered
by NMS's CG 6565 IP video platform, TX 4000 communication platform
and Video Access software.
"3G competition
is steadily increasing in regions like Hong Kong, and this deployment
of the first 3G mobile TV service is a real differentiator for Hong
Kong CSL," said Wilson Lo, executive director of Golden Dynamic.
"NMS Communications has extensive credentials in providing 3G
video technology, and they provided the flexibility, scalability and
ease of use to help Hong Kong CSL get this new service to market ahead
of the competition."
"We are very
pleased to see the successful launch of the 3G mobile TV service by
CSL. This further reinforces CSL's position as a leading innovator
and provides excellent brand awareness for NMS in the marketplace,"
said Critz Chan, vice president and general manager, Asia, NMS Communications.
NMS's mobile video
technology offers simplified building blocks for developers to create
next-generation and 3G voice, video and data services with reduced
time-to-market and lower lifecycle costs. The NMS mobile video platform
and enabling software provide a powerful foundation for creating a
wide range of video applications.
