SK Telecom adopts aacPlus for 3G service
September 23, 2003
SK Telecom and Coding Technologies announced that SK Telcom is adopting
aacPlus and plans to deploy the codec into its 3G content service offerings.
SK Telecom already provides Music On Demand (MOD) and Video On Demand
(VOD) to over 1 million 3G subscribers in Korea. With the addition of
MPEG-4 aacPlus, download costs for subscribers and operating costs for
SK Telecom will go down significantly.
aacPlus, and its core technology SBR, are already widely adopted for
digital broadcasting in Europe, North America, and Asia. The announcement
by SK Telcom and Coding Technologies marks the first commercial deployment
of MPEG-4 aacPlus into the mobile space. SK Telecom decided to move ahead
with aacPlus based on MPEG standardization along with the significant
cost savings and increased audio quality that aacPlus makes available
to the consumer.
"Now that we are using aacPlus, the world's most efficient audio codec,
we can provide our subscribers with even better service and cost savings,"
said WonHee Sull, Vice President/Platform R&D Center of SK Telecom.
"Their adoption of aacPlus helps keep them at the cutting edge of price,
performance, and features," said David Frerichs, VP and US General Manager
of Coding Technologies.
Handsets including aacPlus support are already in development with the
first units shipping concurrent with the updated service rollout. This
licensing deal was done in conjunction with Coding Technologies marketing
partner Ezuz Japan K.K.
