A NEW ENTERPRISE

Media and entertainment solutions provider, Amino, is launching the Amino Enterprise product line. The new portfolio will feature the Amino H200 media player, Enterprise Software Development Kit (SDK) and Amino Engage SaaS platform. The solutions have been deployed in multiple environments, including corporate, education, finance, government, hospitality, military, retail and venues. “We have been the supplier of leading media players for the enterprise sector for over two

decades, and the launch of our powerful new solutions keeps us there,” says Amino CEO Donald McGarva. “Our devices have always enjoyed a reputation for amazing reliability – but we now have

capabilities for low latency and 4K content.” The Amino H200 media player has been available for Amino’s channel partners in EMEA, the Americas and APAC since July 2021.

ON THE RIGHT WAVELENGTH

Amazon Web Services has announced the availability of AWS Wavelength on the Vodafone 4G/5G networks. Customers can now use low- latency capabilties at the edge of 5G networks with the same AWS, APIs, tools and functionality currently in operation – all whilst connecting to the rest of their apps and cloud services. “AWS is excited to collaborate with Vodafone to give developers full, direct access to AWS cloud services in any region on the

Vodafone 4G/5G network,” explains AWS general manager George Elissaios. AWS Wavelength allows developers to deploy their apps to AWS Wavelength Zones, so that app traffic only needs to travel from the device to the cell tower – within the zone. “The commercial availability of Multi-access Edge Compute services provides access to new cloud services,” concludes cloud and security director of Vodafone Vatsa Kalyanasundaram.

BRAINSTORMING IDEAS

Brainstorm has made moves to simplify real-time AR-VR events, with the launch of Edison Pro. It transforms live presentations or conferences into fully immersive experiences. The template-based tool allows users to enhance speech and storytelling, with no need for previous experience in graphics, image or 3D object creation. “By coupling advanced technology with smooth operation, Edison Pro helps users bring their presentations to a whole new level,” states Brainstorm CEO Ricardo Montesa. All that is needed to start is a Powerpoint file or PDF. By using drag-and-drop operation, Edison can truly be used by anyone and is also fully compatible with Unreal Engine – allowing for photorealistic scenes to be used as 3D backgrounds.

BETTER DELIVERY FOR SWEDISH TV

Video delivery provider, Appear, announced that Swedish telecoms operator, Sappa, has deployed its technology to broadcast live TV to subscribers across Sweden. Being one of Sweden’s largest telecoms operators, Sappa provides services for over 400,000 households. “We selected Appear because it is a partner that can support our needs

today, and in the future,” says Hasse Svensson, AB Sappa CEO. Sappa utilised Appear ’s X and XC platforms to support live video TV and OTT service, Sappa Play. It uses the X platform for encoding, transcoding and scrambling to ensure reliability. In turn, it uses the XC platform for analogue and QAM modulators – to guarantee efficient use of Sappa’s bandwidth.
