“Given the explosion of smart phones, tablets, and wirelessly connected laptops, it’s clear that Mobile Video presents a tremendous revenue opportunity for the telecom industry. It is equally clear that managing the quality and efficiency of video delivery in a wireless network is especially challenging,” said Archer. “This is something that I’ve seen for myself with mobile operators all over the world, so I really understand the challenges that carriers are facing. Ortiva offers the industry’s only commercially proven solution that works seamlessly within an operator’s existing infrastructure.
