MUNICH-Siemens AG said it has signed a contract to supply solutions that will enable China Unicom to bring video clips and songs to subscribers’ mobile phones.
The carrier intends to offer the first video services to about 400,000 customers.
Siemens will integrate its media streaming and download solution into Unicom’s CDMA network as well as other areas like video portal and charging system.
“The solution is independent of the underlying network technology and supports all major second- and third-generation mobile standards, such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, TDMA, W-CDMA and CDMA2000,” said Siemens. “It allows videos and songs to be viewed online (streaming) or downloaded to the mobile phone in the form of a file.”
