Digital Media

Interactive channels have changed the way people connect, network, and interact. For device manufacturers and service providers, customization of products and services to enhance the end-user experience presents both an opportunity and a challenge. The challenge of supporting multiple platforms that are future proof, easy to integrate, and reusable across multiple media types like VPN, IP telephony, audio streaming, video streaming, and Wireless LAN connectivity, has a huge impact on time-to-market metrics.

Aricent’s deep domain expertise and experience across multiple technologies help enable faster rollout of new products while optimizing R&D investments. Development of reusable frameworks, integration of platforms, and optimization of video and audio components to drive operators’ four-screen strategy (Mobile, Tablets, PC, and TV) are a core part of Aricent’s expertise that can be leveraged across the entire lifecycle, from design to rollout stage of the digital media components.
