Sasken speeds introduction of next generation services with launch of
Strawberra
November 14, 2003
Sasken, a provider of telecommunications software solutions, announced
the launch and availability of its Strawberra range of multimedia applications
and codecs, which includes the Videophone terminal, Media application
suite and the MMS client.
The launch of Strawberra brings together, for the first time, a proven
range of multimedia applications and codecs, which has achieved standards
compliance and has been deployed by a number of the world's leading wireless
device manufacturers and mobile platform vendors.
"The availability of the Strawberra multimedia applications and codecs
range enables device manufacturers to drive time and cost out of the development
lifecycle for new products," explains Colin Aitken, Vice President of
Marketing at Sasken. Constant pressures on handset vendors to bring new
& differentiated handsets to market make the option of seeking external
vendors, more attractive."
"In offering a comprehensive range of proven integrated multimedia applications
and codecs, Sasken is removing the need for manufactures to develop these
solutions in-house, allowing internal resources to be deployed in other
areas. Additionally, the ready availability of a tested and compliant
Strawberra range means that these manufacturers know that they can significantly
cut their time-to-market."
Use of components from the Strawberra range can also offer manufacturers
to differentiate their products within the market. For example, the presence
of the advanced 3G-324M Videophone Terminal can effortlessly be deployed
on wireless and landline networks, enabling real-time, two-way voice and
video communication. Its features include support for MPEG-4 video, AMR
and G.723.1 speech, plus H.223, H.245 and H.324M protocols.
The media application suite in Strawberra helps to eliminate the need
for multiple devices by including audio player, video player, image capture
and display, plus video capture and display. The MMS client manages all
of the required elements of MMS messaging, but has also been designed
to incorporate future extensions, making it easy for manufacturers to
keep pace with developing technologies.
The current Strawberra range is completed with the availability of a
range of video, audio, speech and image codecs, which provide building
blocks to enable the creation of compelling, revenue-generating applications.
Currently optimised for the OMAP series of platforms of Texas Instruments
the Strawberra range will also soon be extended to other platforms.
