OnMobile licenses its video calling software stack to leading handset vendors in China
 |
OnMobile, the leading provider of telecom value-added services (VAS), today announced that several major handset, chipset and platform vendors in China have licensed the OnMobile Dilithium Video Calling software stack. The licensees will embed the OnMobile video calling software in a range of handsets and chipsets, including Android. |
Further highlighting its market potential and future growth, a dominant operator in China has also licensed the video calling stack for Android. This is a crucial deal for OnMobile since it is an upfront one involving a royalty stream on handset shipments. To support the ongoing demand in the region and OnMobile’s expanding Video Product Unit, the company has also opened a new office in China.
“China is the largest mobile market in the world and is experiencing phenomenal growth as consumers increasingly demand richer forms of wireless communications,” said Dr. Marwan Jabri, Vice President of the Video Products Unit at OnMobile. “The OnMobile Video Calling Stack is the leading stack in WCDMA and TD-SCDMA. We are pleased by the licensing revenues that are flowing in and hope to achieve higher market penetration in the months to come.”
The OnMobile Dilithium Video Calling Stack is the most established video stack in the market. The first shipment of the stack started in 1999, and can now be found in more 3G handsets brands and models than any other stack. It is fully compatible with 3G-324M, making it a popular choice for deployment as a real-time conversational video and value added services for 3G wireless environments. The video calling stack can be deployed in a range of handsets including Android, Linux, ThreadX and Windows Mobile. It features the industry-unique full implementation of fast session setup according to H.324 Annexes A and K (aka MONA) supporting all terminal classes.
The representatives at OnMobile’s China office will support OnMobile’s handset software Research & Development team, the sales and technical support team for video products deployed in China, as well as provide support for Chinese OEMs. There is also a fully functional lab that has been established to support R&D activities.
