USTelematics announces the launch of a new mobilecast program called 4VDO that delivers live television and other video programming to USTelematics’ Voyager Mobile IPTV and also to 3G and 4G wireless mobile devices of most kinds, including the new WiMax devices and services coming soon from Sprint, Google, Intel and their partners.
As new WiMax services proliferate, such as those to become widely available in the recently announced Sprint, Clearwire, Google, and Intel joint venture, USTelematics expects to become a key player in getting WiMax deployed en masse.
USTelematics has commenced building its 4VDO high bandwidth server infrastructure to enable the live television mobilecast service. The initiative is consistent with the Company’s mission to maintain a leadership role in technically facilitating and optimizing wireless mobile communication and infotainment in the telematics and telecommunications industries.
The Company’s technology platform will be designed to be hardware agnostic, serving both USTelematics’ brand products, as well as other popular mobile devices.
USTelematics’ 4VDO service is intended initially to support delivery of live TV into vehicles equipped with USTelematics’ Voyager Mobile IPTV hardware product. Over the longer term, 4VDO is intended to become the premier online platform for transporting live audio and video programming into wireless mobile devices of most kinds, from PDAs and smartphones to the web-connected devices expected to start appearing in cars as originally equipped by auto makers over the next five years.
