US : Nazomi Communications and Thin Multimedia announced that Thin Multimedia's video-enabling technology combined with Nazomi's JA108 multimedia application processor further increases the performance of streaming video. The combined solution provides up to 15 frames per second, a significant development over the current technology used in a mass market baseband processor.

"Working with Nazomi is a natural move for Thin Multimedia as we can now provide the highest performance to date for mass market handset subscribers of CDMA and GSM networks, delivering three to five times better compression ratios than other codecs," said Dale Park, president of Thin Multimedia. "In fact, our enhanced product is already being offered to consumers by SK Telecom, Korea's largest cell phone service provider, via its Giga platform cell phone specification standard. We look forward to future work with Nazomi and to the continued delivery of rich multimedia experiences including movie trailers, music videos, and animation to additional subscribers worldwide."

"Nazomi's JA108 is a unique application processor capable of accelerating any multimedia function. As such, we are delighted that our JA108 multimedia application accelerator is contributing to Thin Multimedia's capabilities in enhancing wireless video performance," said Mukesh Patel, president and CEO of Nazomi. "Thin Multimedia is clearly a leader in providing innovative mobile video solutions, and together we contribute significantly to making the multimedia experience richer, faster and more energy efficient for SKT's customers."
