SANTA CLARA, Calif. and
BARCELONA, Spain, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell
(NASDAQ: MRVL) – a worldwide leader in providing complete silicon
solutions from mobile communications to storage, Internet of Things
(IoT), cloud infrastructure, digital entertainment and in-home
content delivery and Kinoma® software enabling the "Smart Life and
Smart Lifestyle," – today announced that Marvell's award-winning
ARMADA® mobile platforms, including the PXA1802, PXA1920, PXA1928,
PXA1908 and PXA1936, have been enhanced to support eMBMS (evolved
Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service) technology, enabling
smartphones, mobile hotspots and home gateways to play multicast
video streams starting with Android L operating system support.
Marvell's ARMADA mobile platforms offer a high-quality switching
and streaming experience and will be demonstrating Expway's eMBMS
Middleware working with Marvell LTE system-on-chips (SoCs) at
Mobile World Congress.
"The growing need for eMBMS support will continue to increase as
more consumers begin to stream video over LTE and operators look
for efficient ways to multicast video. eMBMS is critical technology
for streaming differential content seamlessly even when there's a
high demand on the network," said Philip
Poulidis, Vice President and General Manager, Mobile and
Internet of Things Business Units at Marvell. "The demonstration
between Marvell and Expway showcases a solution for global mobile
operators and tier-one OEMs offering the ideal mix of
high-performance, low-power mobile computing with multicast
capabilities that are the future of the wireless network."
"On the verge of the first massive deployments of LTE Multicast,
customers expect turnkey solutions to secure their deployment,"
said Claude Seyrat, co-founder of Expway and CEO of Expway Corp.
"The combination of our interoperability-tested LTE Multicast
software and Marvell's LTE chipset will provide Marvell's customers
with a competitive edge in the market."
As the consumption of video content over mobile cellular
networks is growing exponentially with a wide variety of
applications, eMBMS provides an effective and efficient way to
multicast streams on single frequency LTE networks to satisfy the
growing convergence of linear TV and on-demand content over mobile
networks. In some countries where mobile networks are the best way
to provide such delivery, eMBMS can be a very effective way to
support such an experience.
