It claims that DCA supports most live and pre-recorded video formats and performs on-the-fly and on-demand transport, media formatting, and codec and bit rate adaptation. "Customers do not need to install a special application on their handset and can access the video services via EDGE, WiFi, or 3G networks, depending on the Blackberry model." Dilithium claims to be the global leader in high-quality multimedia delivery over mobile and broadband networks to any device with deployments in 60 countries reaching over one billion subscribers: and the company started life in Australia. It was founded in 1994 as Macchina Pty Ltd to commercialise intellectual property in IT&T developed by the University of Sydney. Its co-founder and currently chief technical officer, is Marwan Jabri, then a professor of computer engineering at Sydney University. The company became Dilithium Networks in 2001 when it secured venture funding and moved its headquarters to California. |
