Nokia and Siemens invest in mobile video Oplayo gets 4,4 million infusion

Siemens Mobile Acceleration SMAC, Nokia Venture Partners, Zouk Ventures and Holtron on Monday announced 4,4 million euro investment in a Finnish software-company Oplayo that offers audio- and video streaming for Java and Symbian phones that are available in the market today. Oplayo’s core technology is based on MVQ-codec, which provides for very light decoding and allows streaming for low-end and mid-range mobile phones. Thus, the company clearly focuses on the mass-market. Oplayo requires the subscriber only to download a player-program onto the phone, making it very easy to receive a wide variety of clips such as news bulletins, comedy, movie excerpts, music clips or sport-highlights. Oplayo is further securing its leadership position through its strong list of technical partners, which includes Microsoft, ARM, Texas Instruments, Intel and Symbian.
