Radisys Announces Integration of CounterPath Bria Softphone with MPX-12000 for Enhanced Mobile Video Delivery
HILLSBORO, Ore. –(Business Wire)–
Radisys®
Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a leading provider of embedded wireless
infrastructure solutions, today announced the integration of the CounterPath
Bria desktop and mobile softphone applications with Radisys’ MPX-12000
broadband Multimedia
Resource Function (MRF) for enhanced delivery of mobile video
services. Together with CounterPath (News – Alert), Radisys can now offer mobile
network operators, and their telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs), the
key building blocks required for delivering multi-platform,
revenue-generating mobile video services.
In order to monetize the growing volume of mobile video traffic and
increase average revenue per user (ARPU), mobile operators need a
high-efficiency broadband MRF specifically designed to support
compelling, differentiated and personalized real-time audio and video
services. By leveraging Radisys’ MPX-12000, TEMs avoid the complicated,
time-consuming and expensive task of building broadband MRFs from
scratch to meet operators’ needs. However, for operators to deploy a
working solution, TEMs also need to provide a Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP)-based client application, available on a variety of
mobile devices, to interwork with the Radisys MRF in an IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS) solution architecture.
To help TEMs provide the best end-user experience, Radisys has
collaborated with CounterPath to develop integrated mobile video service
solutions built on SIP and open standards, to be delivered using the
Radisys MPX-12000. The combined solution from Radisys and CounterPath is
compliant with IMS standards and offers multi-platform support, enabling
TEMs to quickly demonstrate services that ensure maximum addressable
market and revenue growth potential for mobile operators.
“Our new Radisys MPX-12000 will provide the scalability and economics to
offer profitable mobile video value-added services (VAS) in an IMS
architecture, but consumption of these services requires an easy and
efficient user interface on the mobile device,” said Manish Singh (News – Alert), CTO,
Radisys. “CounterPath’s Bria softphone applications provide a compelling
user experience, using the same IMS-based signaling and media interfaces
supported by the Radisys MPX-12000. The Bria applications’ ability to
deliver a ubiquitous user experience on a variety of mobile devices
provides Radisys’ customers a complete end-to-end mobile video service
delivery infrastructure.”
The Bria softphone application enables an intuitive and appealing
interface that allows users to adopt and consume mobile video VAS,
accelerating operators’ revenue generation from mobile services. Today’s
mobile video services are often constrained by proprietary solutions
that only work on a subset of devices, but the CounterPath Bria
interface is specifically designed to support multiple mobile client
environments, broadening the appeal of a service offering to a much
larger market. CounterPath’s Bria softphone works on multiple mobile
platforms including PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone (News – Alert) and Android.
“CounterPath’s Bria softphone application offers mobile operators a
consistent end-user interface for the consumption of mobile video
services on many of the industry’s standard platforms and devices,” said
Todd Carothers, SVP of Marketing and Products at CounterPath. “The
synergistic combination of Bria with the Radisys MPX-12000 provides a
compelling video services solution offering for mobile operators. We are
pleased with the complementary capabilities that our two companies offer
together in providing mobile operators an attractive value proposition
for monetizing VoIP and mobile video VAS in 3G and emerging 4G/LTE (News – Alert)
mobile networks.”
About the MPX-12000
Radisys’ MPX-12000 is an MRF for delivering and generating mobile video
services in an IMS architecture that complements existing Radisys IP
media server solutions and provides operators with significant capacity
increases to meet the anticipated data traffic growth. By leveraging the
power and open platform benefits of the Radisys T40,
an ATCA-based 40G platform, the MPX-12000 supports carrier-class
capacities and capabilities for mobile multimedia VAS and conferencing
applications, mobile broadband video, mobile high-definition (HD) audio
and scalable IP-to-IP transcoding.
