Veedio - A New Mobile Social Networking Platform for 3G Operators
Madrid, Spain, February 13, 2009 —This year at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, from the 16th to the 19th of February 2009, Cystelcom Sistemas will present Veedio, a mobile social networking platform for 3G mobile operators that integrates with social networking website functionality using video calling. The platform enables operators to offer subscribers seamless interaction with their social networks via any 3G device. With Veedio, operators can easily deploy valued added 3G-to-web video services such as instant video uploading, creation of private video-chat rooms and video-centric mobile marketing campaigns.
Attendees can visit Cystelcom in the Courtyard area in the CY11 Spanish Pavilion ( Booth 16).
Social networking communities (SNC) and video sharing sites like Facebook and YouTube have taken the world by storm and have changed the way people communicate and share information. Social networks have become some of the most heavily used websites in the world, and their popularity can be attributed to the easy-to-use communication experience these sites provide, and the fact that social networks are the number one platform for creating and sharing content.
“Currently mobile-to-web video services in social networking are somewhat limited and don’t always work well. While some sites support mobile services like uploading multimedia, most of these services are restricted to specific phone brands and models—and usually require you to install software and follow a series of steps to upload video, or tend to have problems related to mobile browsers,” said David Ramirez, Cystelcom CTO.
Veedio improves the mobile social networking communication experience by adding more functionality to social networks. By bridging communication between mobile users and Web users, Veedio seamlessly integrates any 3G device with personal networks giving mobile users live bidirectional mobile-to-web communication.
“This means mobile users can instantly record, upload and share video in real time directly from their 3G phone to their social networking sites without having to use cumbersome methods,” said Ramirez.
Subscribers also can create private multi-party video chat rooms and invite their friends whether they are on a PC or a mobile phone. Rooms enable up to six people to chat simultaneously via bi-directional video calling between web users and 3G devices. Users simply invite friends to participate and they automatically receive notification via SMS or email with instructions on how to enter the room.
“Veedio gives mobile operators a clear way to tap into the social networking phenomenon by offering new revenue-generating mobile-video based social network services based on a video call platform,” explained Manuel Cuenca Cystelcom CEO. “Subscribers just make a video call to access services and operators have a easy-to-deploy solution that leverages their 3G networks, and enables them to add new business and extend existing services through video call, SMS and mobile marketing revenues,” commented Cuenca.
Veedio also supports additional revenue-generating services with risk-sharing business models such as ad-supported free content and location-enabled services.
