The market for mobile streaming is characterised by a huge uptake in consumer demand and an increasing variety of codecs that need to be supported by state-of-the art streaming services. More and more audio and video content publishers want to make their long-form content accessible to a large audience in a safe and easy manner. Mobile video streaming is the fastest growing service in terms of consumer demand and its implementation on mobile portals increases the page impressions and unique user figures.

Apart from the positive impact, a lot of questions and problems need to be taken care of while implementing streaming services such as: How many different handsets should be supported? How high is the availability needed? How many parallel streams need to be served? Which reporting is needed to optimise the service? Do we need dedicated encoding servers? What about the budget for data traffic? net mobile's mobile video streaming server is an easy to integrate ASP-solution. Automatically all new handsets on the market are integrated in its large handset database. Our clients are sure to be able to offer content streaming also to the latest handsets. Its powerful encoding engine helps achieving fast total turnaround times, especially on dedicated encoding server setups. Major content publishers such as TV stations in Germany and Switzerland and tier-one carriers choose net mobile as application service provider to run an outsourced streaming technology. Start streaming your content at any time to any device and anywhere with net mobile's carrier grade ASP solution.

• Carrier grade load balancing: Audio- and video files in large quantities cannot be played out via one central system otherwise the network would get congested Other than at hosting of mobile portals a loss of data packs and long lead times are immediately visible. Our data centres are powered by Gigabit uplinks with peerings to the 5 most important carriers.
• Scalability: All systems are operated in modules with sufficient backup capacity and can be upgraded upon request in a short time. We trust our team of experienced mobile solutions developers who are constantly evaluating the latest standards on the market and how we could integrate those into our solution.
• The player connects to the server over TCP/IP and then requests and controls the media stream through RTSP methods, such as SETUP and PLAY and PAUSE. While streaming, the server and client communicate periodically through RTCP, updating each other with statistics about the streaming session.
• net mobile's streaming module is easy to integrate into your WEB/WAP portal and low cost to manage, allowing our customers to focus on creating and providing value-added content and services to their users. Via net mobile's mobile video streaming module you get access to our high-performance CDN (content-delivery-network) through which amongst others the mobile VoD contents of Vodafone and Swisscom are also streamed.
