The mobile market has grown faster and achieved greater consumer penetration than nearly every other technology-based mass market in modern history. As technology has progressed, mobile handsets have evolved dramatically, from voice-only phones to voice and text communication devices to indispensable multipurpose Internet-enabled tools.
However, commercially viable interactive mobile video services will require mobile handsets that can simultaneously send and receive real-time high-quality video with significantly lower power consumption, network adaptive transmission, and bandwidths that are a factor of 4 to 8 lower than those achieved even by today’s newest and most advanced 4G handsets.
Droplet’s all-software Interactive Video Service Platform (IVSP) is the first mobile video solution that is designed from the ground up for real-time, two-way and multi-party video within the constrained processing power and limited bandwidth of mobile devices and networks.
Droplet’s all-software IVSP client application integrates state-of-the-art adaptive video and voice codec technologies, together with industry-standard Internet protocol (IP) signaling and transport components, to enable high-quality, low-bandwidth, real-time video on the widest range of 2.5G, 3G, and 4G devices.
Droplet’s IVSP includes both client and server software applications that dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of high-quality video capture, playback, and network-adaptive transmission, allowing high-quality, low-bandwidth, real-time video capabilities to be integrated into a much wider range of lower cost mobile devices.
