Multimedia broadcast technology selected

Multimedia broadcast technology selected 06/22/2005 02:56 AM

Digital Fountain, a vendor of telecommunications infrastructure technology, announced Tuesday that 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) selected Digital Fountain's DF Raptor technology as the single standard for the broadcasting of multimedia streams and files to cell phones.

3GPP is a consortium of numerous international telecommunications standards bodies.

The consortium is currently wrapping up Release 6 of its 3G standards, which will for the first time include a protocol for MBMS (multimedia broadcast multicast service).

Up until now, wireless operators were forced to deliver multimedia over unicast protocols, which is both inefficient and more expensive, according to Charlie Oppenheimer, CEO at Digital Fountain.

"If you have to deliver multimedia content on a unicast basis you may use 10 times the bandwidth but you can't charge 10 times the price," Oppenheimer said.

DF Raptor is a multicast protocol that also overcomes a singular challenge with broadcast technology -- there is no back channel for two-way communications that can be used to send error messages. Digital Fountain tackles the problem by using what the industry calls "erasure correction," which transmits a number of repair packets with every file or stream. The repair packets are specially encoded with an unusual property that is something akin to stem cells in that they can be used mathematically to recreate with precision any information lost in transmission.

"You become indifferent to which packets you receive as long as you receive enough of them," Oppenheimer said. "So the return channel isn't needed."

The technology offers major benefits to users, operators, and manufacturers.

For users, the technology can configure applications to withstand any amount of loss from a bad transmission. It also gives operators the ability to send extra packets with the least amount of bandwidth. For hardware manufacturers, it will allow them to lower the cost of equipment because it is "computationally efficient," Oppenheimer said.

There is also industry talk that the satellite radio networks Sirius and XM Satellite Radio are looking to use this technology to deliver both audio and video streams over their services in the future.

Although Digital Fountain will be paid a licensing fee by users, Oppenheimer

said its technology was selected over all the other public domain applications whose technology could have been selected without a licensing fee.

Release 6 of 3GPP's standard that will include MBMS is expected sometime in 2006.

Latest Version of NewsGator, the Premier News Aggregator for Microsoft Outlook, Adds Support for Multiple Machines and Synchronization with Other Platforms and Mobile Devices, In Addition to Powerful Developer Tools and Other Capabilities.

LAS VEGAS and Denver, CO -- January 7, 2004 -- NewsGator 2.0, a new version of the popular news aggregator, was announced today by NewsGator Technologies at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. NewsGator retrieves news from news sites, weblogs, newsgroups, and other information sources that support the RSS or Atom syndication formats, and automatically integrates the news items into Microsoft Outlook. RSS (Rich Site Summary) News Syndication is an emerging method of staying abreast with rapidly changing information and allows users to sort, organize, group and search news in multiple ways. Using NewsGator, users can read content offline making information readily accessible any time.

Major New features in NewsGator 2.0:

• NewsGator Online Services integration -- NewsGator 2.0 includes tight integration for the new NewsGator Online Services platform, which allows users to take advantage of powerful subscription synchronization capabilities. Users can also read related content displayed on the NewsPage, seamlessly access custom search feeds, and easily locate exclusive premium content.
  
• Subscription synchronization -- When used with the new NewsGator Online Services platform, NewsGator 2.0 allows users to synchronize their subscriptions between multiple machines, as well as other editions of NewsGator available with NewsGator Online Services.
  
• NewsGator Extension API -- NewsGator 2.0 has a powerful new API available for third-party developers, allowing them to build extensions to NewsGator to support numerous new scenarios. With this move, NewsGator extends beyond just an application, becoming a platform allowing developers to build a variety of new applications.
  
• Arbitrary RSS extension support -- NewsGator 2.0 is the first mainstream content aggregation tool to support arbitrary extensions in RSS or Atom feeds. Users or publishers can add arbitrary content into their feeds, and NewsGator is now able to process this custom data. Users can modify the rendering of items, add columns in Outlook, or build custom extension processors in .NET. For example, an extension can be written to add an appointment to the Outlook calendar when a meeting is announced in a feed. The possibilities are particularly exciting for businesses looking to integrate workflow applications with RSS and Atom feeds.

There are many other new capabilities and features in NewsGator 2.0, including support for enclosures and attachments in feeds, customizable rendering, and much more. And while NewsGator has always been tightly integrated with Internet Explorer to allow easy subscription to new feeds, NewsGator 2.0 enhances this integration with single-click subscription to feeds from a web site.

NewsGator 2.0 works with Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later, and will be available on January 19, 2004 from http://www.newsgator.com. Pricing is $29 (U.S.) per copy, with quantity discounts available.
