PacketVideo wireless multimedia technology powers NEC 616 Handset
December 16, 2003
PacketVideo has announced that its wireless multimedia technology has
been embedded in NEC's latest "616" mobile handset to support RTP/RTSP
streaming. NEC supplies the handset to the Hutchison Whampoa Group that
provides W-CDMA protocol 3G wireless network services in Europe and Asia.
In 2001, Hutchison announced that NEC would be its preferred supplier
of 3G devices. NEC has been supplying mobile handsets to Hutchison telecom
division group companies, Hutchison 3G Hong Kong and Hutchison 3G UK,
since spring 2003. The "616" model is the latest handset from NEC with
support for RTP/RTSP streaming service and will be released commercially
in Hong Kong, UK, Italy and other countries.
PacketVideo's multimedia decoding software adopted by NEC in the "616"
is based on the agreement on wireless multimedia solutions between Microsoft
and PacketVideo announced in September 2002, and the "616" is capable
of dual-mode playback for both 3GPP and Windows Media 9 Series file formats.
PacketVideo offers its pvPlayer embedded software solution that enables
handset and semiconductor manufacturers to easily and quickly embedded
multimedia capabilities into their products.
Dr. James Brailean, Ph.D., chief executive officer, PacketVideo, says,
"We are very pleased that NEC has selected PacketVideo's mobilemedia technology
for the exciting 616 handset. Consumer and business interest in advanced
mobile handsets and services is growing rapidly, particularly in Europe
and Asia. We expect our presence to grow even further through our partnership
with NEC."
Kazunori Takagi, PacketVideo Japan president, says, "PacketVideo has
been working together with NEC since November 2001 in the sales of wireless
streaming content solutions. Our collaborative relationship has now expanded
to include the development of video-capable mobile handsets that play
a central role in wireless multimedia. We expect our technology to be
a powerful and attractive solution for handset manufacturers from different
countries to enter markets successfully in new regions."
Akira Yoshimoto, assistant general manager, NEC Mobile Terminals Software
Development Division, says, "With regards to the development of the 616,
we focused on RTP/RTSP streaming video playback function and quality.
PacketVideo technology is fully compliant with the industry-standard MPEG-4,
as well as with Microsoft Windows Media 9 Series. We think it is a platform
for providing a wide-range of appealing content services for users."
