Mobile Video Services: Ready for Prime Time
In this paper, we will first examine the market drivers and competing service delivery technologies for mobile video. We will then review several leading mobile video services, and present selected video-processing extensions for mobile video delivery platforms. Finally, we will conclude by summarizing the benefits of mobile video for telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) and systems integrators (SIs) on the one hand, and for mobile network operators (MNOs) and value-added service providers (VASPs) on the other.

Reducing Integration Time Using CP-TA Tested Building Blocks
B-STAR, in coordination with CP-TA, integrated an IPTV application using ATCA building blocks tested with CP-TA’s test tools. The goal was to quantitatively show a reduction in integration time using hardware components that were CP-TA tested. This paper documents B-STAR’s integration effort and serves as a process template exemplifying the use of CP-TA’s test tools and standardized test report.

Mapping Java EE to SAForum Specifications: A NEP Perspective
NGN (Next Generation Networks) and Service layer applications have high requirements on rapid development and deployment of new services. To meet these requirements Java EE is used to a large extent, however in the telecom domain, carrier grade high availability and fault tolerance is a norm and it also needs to be valid for Java EE applications to a larger extent than today.
