Solutions for the next generation of Mobile Network

The 4th Generation of cellular or mobile network, 4G-LTE (Long Term Evolution) represents a fundamental change in the capability of over the air bandwidth, not just for data and internet interactions but for Voice and all interactions.  The bandwidth available on 4G-LTE networks is so wide and so fast that it possible to unify the disparate and rather silo'd nature of Media, Telecommunications, Content and the Internet under one service delivery framework.

4G-LTE sees carriers re-inventing themselves around all the core elements of voice and data and re-inserting themselves into the historic ground lost in content and applications to the internet, over the top providers or media companies.

One of the most exciting new developments is High Definition Video, not only from a media and 'broadcast' perspective, but the ability on 4G-LTE networks of the end users to interact with each other and with technology with rich and powerful video and voice communications.  Instead of video remaining a small thumbnail of dubious quality in an instant messaging session, 4G-LTE brings bandwidth and low latency that makes it possible to enjoy extremely high quality and low latency video interactions irrespective of physical location.

Anana specialises in mixing the initiatives of VoiceXML, Speech Recognition and Media Platforms such that the Carrier can offer speech driven self service applications that use HD Video as the user-interface.  Think of concepts like "Why don't you just TELL ME the name of the movie you'd like to watch....!" as a much more enjoyable and faster experience than typing in the name of the movie, or searching through lists of content, sometimes HUNDREDS of channels deep!

Anana has teamed with the 4G-LTE Division of Alcatel-Lucent to create very rich Video and Speech driven applications as showcases of these technologies in 2010 and they are currently being trialled and are very much in the front of considerations as 'must have' key elements of the 4G-LTE service matrix. The video below shows an actual 4G LTE VideoIVR solution as a static recording of the interaction. To see a live demonstration of real-time 4G-LTE video and how this new man-to-machine interface is relevant to 21st Century Consumers on the Worlds Fastest Voice and Data Networks then please contact us!
