Business Wire, July 21, 2010
SAN FRANCISCO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—IPWireless, a pioneer in developing key enabling IMB technology, and Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today jointly announced that the two companies have signed a co-operation agreement with respect to the production of each party’s Integrated Mobile Broadcast (IMB) technology. This co-operation will include interoperability testing (IOT) and service provider trials. These ground-breaking interoperability tests will assure operators that they can confidently source IMB equipment from multiple vendors and assure handset manufacturers that their devices will be fully compatible with all IMB networks. IMB is capable of streaming live video and broadcasting and storing popular content on the device for later consumption – both resulting in significant offloading of data traffic from existing 3G networks.
