Indian LTE Giant Reliance Licenses SPIRIT Mobile Video Engine
MOSCOW --(Business Wire)--
SPIRIT
DSP, the world's #1 voice and video over IP engines provider serving
more than 1 billion users in 100+ countries, has announced today that
Indian telecom operator Infotel, a subsidiary of Reliance Group, one of
India's top three private sector business houses with annual turnover of
more than $60 billion, has licensed TeamSpiritTM
Voice&Video Engine Mobile.
Reliance intends to invest $10 billion in its LTE (News - Alert) network and has turned
to SPIRIT's software products for voice and video calls over LTE instead
of waiting for phone makers who are slow in offering handsets
transmitting voice and video in 4G networks. The lack of mobile devices
supporting VoLTE (Voice-over-LTE) drives a growing number of carriers to
implement a software-only product, which is more flexible, scalable and
offers a quicker time to market. SPIRIT engines plays a key role in
providing HD voice and video quality as a part of IMS/RCS service
infrastructure on popular Android (News - Alert) and iOS smartphones and tablet PCs, as
well as PCs with Mac OS or Windows.
By using SPIRIT engines, Reliance will be able to offer its subscribers
high-quality services as an alternative to Skype (News - Alert) over cellular networks
and attract new high-value subscribers that used services from other
operators and commercial OTT service providers.
"While the number of LTE networks is growing, the quantity of mobile
devices models supporting VoLTE is extremely small. LTE phones and
tablets mainly support only data transmission over an LTE modem, while
voice and video are going via 2G/3G network. It's an akward situation
for mobile operators who had hoped that phone OEMs would flood the
market with 4G LTE-ready phones," said SPIRIT's VP Alex Kravchenko.
"Carriers in dozens of countries now plan to or already deploy VVoIP
services under their own brands in an effort to stop subscribers from
switching to OTT providers, such as Skype, Viber and WhatsApp. The
TeamSpirit software engines enable the transmission of voice and video
packets via LTE modems and help operators use mobile devices available
in today's market. Reliances decision to follow the growing trend is a
good example of carriers' flexibility to create their own competitive
services faster. It's The Fastest who wins in today highly competitive
technology world, not The Biggest one."
