Geodesic Launches Mundu TV

Online PR News – 07-May-2011 –Singapore - Geodesic Limited, a leading provider of award-winning mobile and desktop solutions for instant messaging, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and Internet radio, today announced general availability of its newest product, Mundu TV. The service lets users access live and archived television content, video programming, movies and more from top content providers around the world on a range of mobile phones, netbooks, laptops and other Internet devices.

Mundu TV is the only mobile TV service built from scratch as a in fact global offering. The app is optimised to run on 2G, 2.5G, 3G and WiFi networks, ensuring superior audio and video quality over a wide range of network connections and devices. The app as well offers region-specific content, ensuring viewers from across the globe can easily access their preferred news and entertainment channels.

Mundu TV Offering Mundu TV looks and acts like regular television - only on-the-go. It offers a mix of prime-time television and movie content from top channels across various genres, just as business, news, sports and entertainment - as so then as live coverage of events. The app provides TV features, including the ability to switch channels and pause live TV. It as well streams to both mobile and desktop devices for one subscription price. The latter is especially attractive to expats, who are accustomed to paying a cable operator to access a limited number of channels/entertainment from other countries. Mundu TV is available as a downloadable app, or as a white-labelled solution for broadcast network operators and mobile carriers. Service providers are looking for value-added services that will drive increased usage of their networks, whilst differentiating them from competitors and reducing customer churn. Mobile TV is an antidote to declining voice earnings, and Geodesic's Mundu TV helps carriers and cable operators deliver on the ‘three screen' promise - providing video content anywhere, anytime via mobile devices, PCs and the set-top box.

"Evidently, Asia is primed for a mobile-entertainment explosion," said Arvind Venkateswaran, Geodesic's SVP of worldwide business development. "What has begun in this burgeoning region will mushroom globally, as consumers increasingly adopt smartphones and tablets, carriers deliver cutting-edge video quality on high-bandwidth networks, and pricing plans become more clear-cut. With these changes, consumers will demand on-the-go access to their favourite entertainment programmes, and that is specifically what Mundu TV is delivering."

A study from Nielsen Company shows a 44 per cent increase in mobile video viewing in 2010. According to ABI Innovation, worldwide adoption of mobile TV is accelerating, with total market earnings exceeding US$20 billion by 2015.
