SPOTxde enables content providers to create, encode and send rich content, combining audio and video, such as movie trailers, music files, customized advertising and news highlights to Internet portals and wireless handsets.

"Our customers are thrilled about SPOTxde seeing that it really boosts the content diversity and quality of 3G services," said Laurent Amar, Vice President Strategic Planning and Business Alliances for VoiceAge. "SPOTxde is expected to be a key element for next-generation wireless and Internet multimedia services, and is projected to reach 1 billion users worldwide by 2010."

Based on the latest industry international standards such as 3GPP Adaptive Multi-Rate Narrowband (AMR-NB) for voice compression and MPEG4 for video compression, SPOTxde allows for an unsurpassed combination of high compression and playback quality. 3G subscribers will now be able to have rapid and affordable access to high quality multimedia content.

More than 100 users, including industry leaders such as Tsutaya Online, Toshiba, CYBIRD, Hudson Soft, and Asahi National Broadcasting, have tested and evaluated SPOTxde ensuring it meets expectations of users, providers and manufacturers alike.
