Tambora Systems optimizes High-Resolution Video Delivery
Video content is a significant contributor to mobile data traffic. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, users shifting to over-the-top (OTT) platforms for entertainment further increase the bandwidth consumption of video in communication networks. As a result, mobile network operators (MNO) have to optimize their networks for a decent quality of experience (QoE) while streaming high-resolution content. Startups now develop innovative solutions to optimize network congestion using advanced video and network optimization techniques. This way, network operators are able to maximize network efficiency without additional infrastructure.
Singaporean startup Tambora Systems provides an optimized video experience for end-users using its disaggregated core architecture and traffic offload. The startup’s guaranteed Quality of Experience (gQoE) follows a 3-step process: sensing, processing, and acting, to optimize networks and improve video quality. gQoE’s dedicated mobile app senses network and content distribution network (CDN) parameters. This data is then processed in the cloud using the startup’s management platform, and network conditions are analyzed. The startup’s solutions optimize high-resolution content delivery and promote low latency mobile gaming, video streaming, live sports, and broadcasting, among others.
FeatherCloud is a 5G-Edge Content Delivery Network (5G-CDN)
At the present rate, 5G networks are necessary to accommodate all end-devices, such as smartphones and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, into a centralized network. However, the large number of connected devices demands high processing power in the cloud and telecom data centers. This is a bottleneck for the telecommunication sector to deliver high-resolution content to users. Startups tackle this situation by utilizing edge computing and caching and takes processing towards the user and reduces bandwidth congestion.
Israeli startup FeatherCloud develops decentralized computing and caching algorithms for telecom services. The startup’s solution comprises an intelligent mesh of computation units on cell towers. Further, these connected units collaborate and share cached content and computation tasks, as well as lowers fiber costs. The startup’s 5G-CDN reduces network congestion and system load while improving customer retention and QoE for telecom operators. Additionally, FeatherCloud offers machine learning (ML)-based edge computing solutions for smart city and enterprise IoT.
Polystream develops Command Streaming for Cloud-based Gaming
Leveraging existing telecommunication infrastructure is crucial to support high-resolution content such as low-latency gaming and 4K-video streaming and avoid fresh capital investments. Cloud-based gaming provides users with a device-agnostic platform. For this, gamers need high-speed and low-latency connectivity, whereas game hosters need immense computing power in the cloud. Startups utilize advancements in cloud-based services and network optimization to provide high-resolution content support for telecom operators.
British startup Polystream uses its command streaming technology to advance cloud gaming. The startup’s solution moves graphics processing to the user’s device. It utilizes dynamic compute commands in the cloud to send commands instead of videos across the network. This way, cloud gaming providers are able to support the service without the need for high processing video cards and high-speed connectivity, allowing them to engage and monetize audiences. The startup also offers the Polystream Fantom In-Game Spectator (IGS) engine that lets users connect to the virtual world without requiring on-device software.
C Matter provides Auditory Dimension for Next-Generation Telephony
Virtual reality (VR), video conferencing, and online gaming provide a highly interactive environment for users. However, the quality of sound in high-resolution content detaches users from an otherwise immersive experience. At present, even advanced VR and augmented reality (AR) systems rely on headphones for auditory resolution. Startups utilize advancements in computing to build efficient ways to enhance audio quality. For example, adapting the voice tone of co-players based on spatial position in online gaming better immerses gamers into the simulation.
Belgian startup C Matter specializes in a voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP), and high definition (HD) voice telecom. The startup’s patented technology allows users to perceive three-dimensional audio with ordinary handsets, tablets, and workstations. C Matter’s solutions are integrable with existing applications and software using C Matter Headspace API. Plus, the C Matter BOIP binaural over IP server transmits full-duplex 3D sounds as data packets over the internet. Thus, C Matter’s proprietary technology elevates telephony and improves high-resolution content experience, such as AR, VR, and gaming, as well as tools and services for security, medicine, and disabled persons.
Lumenisity manufactures Hollow-core Optical Fiber
The affordability and availability of 4G networks elevates user experience with high-resolution content and may lead to network congestion during peak hours. However, the initial 5G system uses existing infrastructure before moving to full-fledged 5G networks. This prevents users from fully utilizing high-speed communication systems. That is why startups develop advanced transmission channels to accommodate 5G and improve low-latency communication worldwide.
British startup Lumenisity develops high-performance hollow-core fiber optic cable for communication networks. The startup’s CoreSmart fiber uses a patented nested anti-resonant nodeless fiber (NANF) to reduce transmission loss and improve transfer speed. NANF based hollow-core cables are able to carry more wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) channels and, hence, offer higher capacity per strand than traditional solid core fiber. Lumenisity’s fiber optics cables facilitate low-latency, high bandwidth communication for data center connectivity and 5G mobile networks. This allows telecom operators to provide reliable high-resolution content over their network.
