Nokia, Orca Stream Video

HELSINKI -- At the Nokia Connection 2002 show in Singapore today, Nokia, a world leader in mobile and broadband communications, and Orca Interactive, a global market leader in developing applications for interactive TV, will use Orca's iTV application software to demonstrate streamed video services over Nokia broadband access and intelligent edge infrastructure. Demonstration participants will be able to see video services delivered to TV, PCs and the Nokia 9210i Communicator. Nokia will demonstrate the cost-efficient delivery and dynamic bandwidth management necessary for full video-on-demand services via the Nokia D500 multiservice access platform and the Nokia ASR 2020 intelligent edge router. The service solution demonstrates how video content can be multicasted through the operator network, allowing multiple video streams to be delivered to end-user terminal devices such as TVs and PCs. "It is important to demonstrate potential real life opportunities for creating increased revenue per user and to show how operators could offer converged services and take advantage of both mobile and broadband network investments," comments Mark Slater, VP Marketing & Sales, Nokia Broadband Systems. "By working with companies like Orca Interactive, and using Nokia's mobile and broadband solutions, Nokia is well positioned to offer solutions for converged services to all operators, both fixed and mobile."Nokia Corp.Orca Interactive Ltd.
