Fraunhofer Brings Cutting Edge Technology To Mobile Phones

Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (Fraunhofer FOKUS) has introduced a mobile multimedia service which will make sure football fans do not miss any action of matches even when they are on the move.

The service abbreviated as FUSECO Playground would be highly beneficial for developers in researching and testing prototypes for next generation mobile broadband applications. Even the components and protocols could be developed and practically field-tested.

The makers are planning its launch on May 17, 2010 at the 6th International Testbed Conference “TridentCom2010" in Berlin. Fraunhofer FOKUS has joined hands with Technische Universität Berlin, the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz Institute and Deutsche Telekom Laboratories to make this project a reality.

The company feels that such innovations in mobile technologies are independent and do not depend on the network provider or the mobile manufacturer. Smartphones and tablet PCs continuously need such inventions in order to continuously give a different and exciting experience to their users.

With the help of this new multimedia service OpenEPC can link the whole range of IP platforms effortlessly according to the latest standards from IPTV and cloud platforms over IP multimedia sub system (IMS) based service platforms to proprietary company platforms. For instance if a service is developed to watch live sports on smartphones the OpenEPC will link the IP-based streaming platform of a broadcasting company to various mobile networks. FUSECO Playground will test different platforms and will give the best suited one.

A lot of emphasis is given to the user’s IP in this service and network providers would be able to categorize their customers IP for either telephone services or premium internet access. But there might be users who make heavy use of both the services from their phones how will their IP be categorized is not clear.

Such innovations by companies like Fraunhofer FOKUS can take mobile phones to an all new level. This will help network providers in classifying their customers better on the basis of their usage of certain services or call usage.
