China Telecom has enabled 3G video streaming through Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), using 3G CDMA EVDO:
The centralized 3G CDMA EVDO video streaming platform can deliver a divers range of audio and video formats nationwide services with sound and picture quality over 50% higher than 2G. The large capacity, advanced features, high stability and reliability of the streaming server engine makes it ideal to support live broadcasts, video on demand and downloading. In addition the video streaming service is flexible to handle and can easily be expanded with new consumer applications.
Of course this might be no great shakes to those of us that live in 3G-network land, but it’s a big thing in terms of infrastructure – NSN is making it’s case in China to be one of the key suppliers of infrastructure – and with that we’ll see who the leaders for infrastructure deployments are going to be in the medium term. Those are also the companies that will also be delivering 4G solutions, which of course, we’ll see deployed in the US and Europe. So in a strange way, much of the success of companies like NSN in China now will affect us indirectly going forward.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
