IPWireless IMB Business Benefits

IPWireless' 3GPP-based Integrated Mobile Broadcast (IMB) solution provides mobile network operators with an ideal solution for offering subscribers value-added mobile broadcast services. IMB  supports an unmatched breadth of broadcast content at a fraction of the price of broadcast world technologies because it works in an operator's existing, unused 3G spectrum and seamlessly integrates with existing 3G networks at the cell site, core network, and in the handset. Through IPWireless' unique mobile broadcast business model, operators are able to deliver a higher quality of service, and greater number of channels at a price point that makes sense for subscribers and operators. IMB provides operators with the compelling business economics that will finally enable mobile broadcast adoption to proliferate and allows them to stay in control of the value chain.
