Popwire demonstrates broadcast solutions for 3G at CEBIT CEBIT, Hannover : Popwire and Ericsson today demonstrates an end-to-end solution for streaming media to wired and wireless Internet and 3G networks. "Popwire is the only company in the world that can offer streaming media solutions regardless of media format, server or network, says Anders Norström, CEO Popwire. Our solution enables the simultaneous distribution of streaming media to any server on any network via wired or wireless Internet. The implication of this is that the Internet can be used to broadcast and distribute TV to all available networks. This will in turn lead to an increased freedom of choice for both producer and consumer, as well a significant cost reduction in comparison with current broadcasting systems. A number of Popwire´s solutions are patent pending. In December 2000 Popwire and Ericsson successfully staged the worlds first live 3 G broadcast from the heart of Stockholm. The broadcast attracted over 80,000 viewers and showcased the potential of the next generation of mobile communications.
