LONDON — The ng Connect Program — founded by Alcatel-Lucent earlier this year to drive the development of services for emerging LTE and 4G networks — has added five new members, two new Proofs of Concept and two more labs.
The initiative now boasts 26 members, eight PoCs, and six labs and demonstration centers around the world.
The latest members to sign up include CeativeLabs — best known for its Sound Blaster sound cards; digital security and SIM specialist Gemalto; Kabillion " an Emmy Award-winning entertainment program service for kids ages 6-12 available both as a free VOD channel and a free online broadband site; V-Gate, which is bringing 3D and LBS to mobile devices with its metaport offering that transmits 3D content in real time to mobile devices; and R360, which focuses on providing mobile and PC-based access to secure and private business productivity suites on higher end phones and mobile devices.
One of the Proofs of Concept, developed by Alcatel-Lucent and Gemalto, focuses on mobile access to corporate and cloud applications for telcos through hardware-based authentication and single sign-on; the other a digital signage solution developed by MediaTile in collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent that integrates 4GVideoPresence technology to support real time, interactive video sessions between consumers in-store with product questions and the brand representative.
The initiative will now have access to R&D and proof-of-concept demonstration facilities in Ottawa, Canada; Dallas, TX; Murray Hill, NJ; Stuttgart, Germany, and now Paris and Villaceaux, France, for European operators.
