Original Press Release:
StreamerNet® Corporation Introduces Live Streaming Technologies for Smartphones and Other Handheld Devices
First-of-its-Kind Technology Offers 'Device-in-Hand' Live Video and Audio Streaming Capabilities for Government, Enterprise and Consumer Users
WASHINGTON, March 7 / -- StreamerNet Corporation today announced that its mobile-wireless audio and video streaming technology enables owners of Windows(R) Mobile devices, such as the Treo(TM) 700W and other Smartphones, to view live audio and video streaming events straight from a remote camera to the handheld. In addition to remote viewing, StreamerNet technology also enables the user to receive and watch video email on the handheld device.
StreamerNet is showcasing its mobile streaming solutions this week at the FOSE government technology conference (Homeland Security Pavilion, Booth # 336) at the Washington Convention Center March 7-9.
StreamerNet solutions are unique in the marketplace because they concentrate on direct point-to-point streaming at a moment's notice - a concept called "plug-and-play, click-and-stream(TM)." This type of offering is dramatically different from most currently available streaming offerings which require significant set-up time, require considerable resources/expense to facilitate and do not offer live remote-view options.
"We are at the forefront of a major shift in streaming capabilities," stated William R. Hornbeck, president and CEO of StreamerNet Corporation. "Traditional streaming has primarily been available only in the form of expensive and technology-intensive offerings such as broad distribution webcasting. StreamerNet is proud to lead the charge toward more comprehensive and easy-to-use solutions that allow individuals or organizations to bring low-priced and personalized streaming options to their environments."
Widespread adoption of handheld and mobile computing devices, combined with strong growth in the expansion of wireless broadband, is a contributing factor in the shift to more mobile and more simplified streaming options. As higher broadband access speeds become available, individual devices can now more easily handle full audio and video streams whenever and wherever the capability is needed.
StreamerNet continues to refine its mobile streaming platform to take advantage of these enhancements. In order to bring live action video to a handheld device, the StreamerNet software application permits the user to attach a video camera to an Internet-connected computer, at the desired location, and then transmit real-time audio/video action directly to a remote handheld viewer. Support for Smartphones and other handheld devices presents several unique opportunities for StreamerNet customers.
"From surveillance and security, to emergency management and command/control, to business management, entertainment, or personal use, StreamerNet solutions present an easy-to-use methodology for mobile/remote video creation and viewing," added Hornbeck.
While all StreamerNet offerings to-date include both streaming media encoding software and viewer/player technologies, the Company's currently- available Version 2.0 has been specifically enhanced with features that directly address the most prevalent evolutions in the market. StreamerNet solutions are available under a three-tier service program. Enterprise, Academic and Personal editions cover a wide variety of market sectors each offering unique Viewer Minute (VM) packages. These newest features include a variety of intuitive processes that enable the user to:
-- Webcast live action events
-- Send Video Email
-- See a real-time camera view on a Smartphone device
-- Host distributed videos in a private OnDemand Media Room
-- Broadcast global IPTV or Radio Show
-- Send local TV to any desktop
-- Convert old VHS tapes to web
Market trends point to a quickly changing computing and communications landscape and not merely in the consumer ranks. StreamerNet technologies, which were initially developed in 2003 as advanced technology concepts, have been enhanced more than four times over the past three years. The company expects to bring its formal Version 3.0 to market before the end of the first quarter 2006.
StreamerNet technologies provide the multimedia computing engine for a wide variety of mobile computing devices. These devices, which already exist in many forms, could be a laptop, cell/smartphone, hand-held PDA, wearable computer, or any number of yet-to-be-developed devices designed to retrieve and communicate data. Utilizing open computing standards, StreamerNet technologies ensure that these and other devices can take advantage of full multimedia -- anytime, anywhere.
