Volantis, a supplier of Intelligent Content Adaptation™ solutions for the Mobile Internet, and Mobixell, a provider of mobile multimedia solutions, have announced a partnership to deliver a broad variety of multimedia capabilities optimized for every media type, mobile device, and value added service (VAS).

The two companies have completed development on a fully integrated mobile video solution that takes advantage of Mobixell’s unique multimedia capabilities (supported by its recent acquisition of Adamind), together with Volantis’ market-leading content delivery platform.

Leveraging Mobixell’s Content Production suite for mobile multimedia production and adaptation, Volantis extends and enhances its content management and delivery capability to include intelligent asset transcoding and real-time streaming adaptation of video and audio of any format. This ensures that the mobile subscriber experience is always optimized for any type of media, regardless of mobile devices, domains and networks.

The new partnership complements Volantis' existing solutions for wireless carriers and content providers. The Volantis Suite of Mobile Content Applications™ and supporting Mobile Content Framework™ enable the development and distribution of a wide variety of mobile content, including wallpapers, ringtones, audio and video, streaming content, games, and interactive content such as quizzes, polls, and competitions.

Mobixell’s Content Production Suite transforms mobile content production from a manual process into an efficient and reliable, high-volume automated process, providing carriers and content providers with tools to validate the Quality of Experience (QoE) for each and every mobile device. At the heart of this Production Suite is a smart, all-in-one, media adaptation engine that reduces the burden of creating device-specific versions of unique content. The Production Suite also offers a wealth of value-added features for content previewing, DRM, branding and advertising.

”We selected Mobixell after a year-long analysis that matched our growing customer requirements for dynamic video content with an exhaustive review of the competitive offerings in the marketplace,” said Matthew Harris, Chief Executive Officer of Volantis. “We are confident that together with Mobixell, we can offer a solution today that is unrivaled in the marketplace.”

Amir Aharoni, Chief Executive Officer of Mobixell said: With our combined large customer base and technology assets, this partnership between Volantis and Mobixell will enable content providers and operators to offer their subscribers the highest-quality rich media content for every handset and network. This will lead to faster introductions of new multimedia services to help increase multimedia content usage and customer satisfaction.”
