Video service Delivery Platform:
The arrival of 3G networks worldwide is enabling an opportunity for mobile operators to open up new revenues stream and increase subscriber adoption rates by delivering unique and innovative applications and services. These new services include real-time multimedia applications such as video messaging, video streaming, video chat, and video conferencing.
Mobile operators who understand the inherent challenges of deploying high-bandwidth, low latency video applications with service quality in a 3G network realize that they need to incorporate a solution that supports 3G-324M. 3G-324M- enabled networks allow mobile operators to deploy high quality, real time conversational video applications over a circuit-switched protocol, while deploying other services such as web based applications over the IP network.


The Video VSDP:
Is geared toward mobile operators to deploy carrier-grade, scalable, and cost effective video gateway interfaces between 3G-324M and IP networks. The VSPD supports real-time bidirectional streaming of video sessions between 3G-324M enabled mobile phones and multiple IP based mobile video applications. Operators can offer visual communications services between mobile users and any IP video end-point situated anywhere in the world.


Video Conferencing:
Despite the importance of video conferencing to business life it was not until the advent of 3G networks that this service could take its proper place in the catalogues of mobile operators. As 3G networks spread, statistics shows a gradual and steady increase in revenue generated from mobile video conferencing. The ability to conduct life-like meetings through the handset screen has a tremendous impact on business productivity and business culture - so much so that video conferencing is widely regarded as the most prominent business service to be provided over 3G mobile networks.
Mobile Video conferencing solution offers a simple automatic mechanism to arrange and conduct video conference calls. All you have to do is dial the Video Conference service number and select the conference call attendees from your phone book. Then, you can either perform the call immediately or schedule the call. At the designated time the system either calls the attendees directly, or sends them an SMS requesting them to call a specified number. During the call there are several options; you can add further attendees to the call, attendees can be muted, and there is an option to instruct the service to record the call. A link to the recorded call file will be then sent to your e-mail address.


Video IVR (IVVR) M‐Banking Service:
With the advent of mobile video and 3G networks, Interactive Voice & Video Response (IVVR) technology has become the most plausible solution to serve as the technological base for next generation mobile banking. For the last several years, our company and its partners have gained substantial experience and expertise in developing, implementing and deploying IVVR platforms and applications. Today, this unique knowledge and knowhow enable us to provide the best M‐Banking platform available to date with regard to simplicity of use, security, interoperability and reliability.
In IVVR mobile banking the subscriber is only required to make a simple video call. There is no need to download an application or to type a URL address. The bank's welcome message is displayed together with the visual interactive menus, activated either by the handset keys or by the subscriber's voice. Interactive video menus with quick response times, immediate feedback and fluid interactivity, provide the users with a simple and enjoyable banking experience.


3G GamePlay:
Gameplay is an entertainment service that enables the subscribers to engage in Multi-Player Games via video calls using their 3G enabled handsets. The subscribers can either challenge the others by making an inbound video call to the system or they can play Single Player games with the system (again by making a video call) whilst ensuring the privacy of the subscribers with user profiles rather than disclosing the numbers and other personal information of the subscribers. The Users can climb up the levels as they play more.
The 3G GamePlay gaming platform will consist of a number of games to give the mobile users the variety of experience that they require.


3G Participation TV:
Participation TV is a growing trend in the media industry with variations from SMS voting to Caller views/queries being the most common participation mediums. The biggest success in this direction is the ‘Idol’ franchise. The convergence of telecom and media is gaining popularity all over the globe.
Our product pushes this convergence a step further – video. Callers could participate more intimately instead of being another ‘voice’ on the program. It’s a chance for the caller to appear on TV and make an impression!
It opens up new avenues for media companies to develop high rating programs–from competitions to talk shows to commentaries to breaking news. Inherently this increases subscriber participation through the mobile media to interact in these programs, since it seamlessly integrates with any broadcasting studio equipment.
Our solution will be an all-in-one, plug and play solution for 3G-based video call broadcasting, fully interoperating with any 3G handset, it allows 3G users to appear on their favorite TV show by video calling a fixed service number, without the need of any prior software download. For 2.5G and 2.75G users, participation can be done on offline mode by sending Multimedia Message to the system.
The proposed architecture is based on the assumption that Planet41’s VSPD is deployed with the operator and P41’s Media Integration Console is deployed with the media stations. The two platforms will communicate between each other using defined protocols on the TCP/IP network. Where ever possible, standard protocols are used to make the system communication more robust and standard compliant.


LIVE Video Calls to TV:
The 3G caller makes a video call to the media stations video portal number. The Video portal will answer the call and take the user through the portal video menus. If the user selects the participation TV option, the video call will be routed to the MIC sitting at the media station. As explained in a previous section the circuit switched video call will be converted to IP steams and will be transported via TCP/UDP/IP. At the MIC, an important process which includes 3 main functions are performed on the received video stream from the user.


Video Roaming:
When a 3G roamer enters the country, s/he usually receives a series of text messages welcoming them and presenting them with exchange rates and embassy contacts etc. Due to limitations of the medium, there is no warmth behind these greetings. With Welcome Video Roamer it is possible to present him/her with a colorful and picturesque video clip which creates a sense of warmth and a feel of home and latches them to a single operator as their preferred network.
The same applies for a new 3G subscriber where the network can introduce and demo new video services to the subscriber. There by encouraging usage of the service. Additionally, a call back number or a W@P URL can be advertised so that the roamer is able to access more information. This service will get the triggers from the operators’ welcome Video SMS platform. Every time a new 3G roamer is latched on to the network, welcome SMS platform is expected to send a trigger over IP to the welcome video service. This trigger will activate the process of outbound video calling to specific roamer.


Live Entertainment:
The needs of users grow with the technical development and already established text based services will be replaced in future by increasingly sophisticated services. The new Mobile-Streaming solution offers companies the opportunity to provide customers in almost all situations with new contents mobile.

Subscription Services

IVR and IVVR subscriptions: Planet41 enable customers to subscribe to their services quickly and easily. Subscribers are charged either a fixed or dynamic price, dependent on your unique needs. Customers can set up a queue of rich media messages that can be sent out at specific dates and times, or send out on-the-fly through voice with the latest news and offers – daily, weekly, monthly: the service is customised exactly to your needs and those of your members.

On the launch of very first day with more than 25 topics of content including News, Stock Market News, Jokes, Star Sign Forecasts, Beauty, Health and many others, Planet41 Subscribers will be able to get concise content of their choice in a simple and unobtrusive manner on a regular basis.


Mobile Marketing and Advertising: In this era of rapid advancement in cutting edge technology, the mobile phone has become an integral part of our daily existence. Stiffing competition in the telecom industry has pushed Telco to continuously invest in technology enhancements in the order to provide a better service to their subscribers at lowest possible tariffs. On the contrary, advertising is seen as a high revenue generating stream that is capable of sustaining high profits as it offers as exclusive interactive experience coupled with convenience, thereby making the mobile medium the most potent choice for advertising.
We capitalized on this opportunity and developed a total mobile advertising solution, which addresses the needs of all entities involved in mobile advertising (i.e. mobile operator, advertising agencies, advertisers and subscribers).
Our product is a Value Added Advertisement Service (VAAS) which allows advertisers to reach consumers directly on their mobile devices via various innovative mediums (i.e. SMS, MMS, WEB/WAP, IM, Video and Voice) in a non-intrusive manner, while helping to reduce the burden of subscriber tariffs and increase the operator Average Revenue per User.


Voice SMS: Planet41’s Voice SMS service takes short-messaging to new heights. While text-based short messaging sets the standard, Voice SMS raises it by allowing the use of speech instead of typed messages. Simple to implement, quick to launch, and easy to use – Voice SMS from Planet41 will drive operator revenues and bring subscribers yet another excellent service.
Text messaging has been the number one success story of cellular telephony. With astonishing and sustained growth it continues to beat expectations and is still the leading data service on mobile networks. Text messaging has had limited success in markets where the phone keyboard has proven unsuitable for the local language,  where literacy rates are lower or, indeed, where the language is not supported by the handset. Further, while a text message allows a short piece of information to be sent, text does not convey meaning and feeling in the way that a voice can - and texts are often misinterpreted. Voice SMS allows everyone, irrespective of language, alphabet or handset, to send a short message that is personal.


Availability Alert: When there is a grave urgency to call a person and the person being called is not available at the time, it would be a great benefit to the caller to know when the other party is available. Availability module provides notification to the caller, when the called party becomes available after the missed call Alert.

Voice Changer
Voice changer is a fun service to make jokes to friends. The application changes the voice in real time, making almost impossible the called party to guess the caller. The application can show or hide the original caller number to further surprise the called party. The voice changer platform changes the voice of the caller in real time to make the called party hear a different voice other than caller. The conversion is done to wide range of different voices without introducing any distortion or delay. The conversions are:

  • from male voice to a female voice
  • from male voice to child voice
  • from female to other female voice, etc.

Back Ground Music (BGM)
Our BGM application allows pre-paid and post-paid subscribers to play music in the background when the call is in progress. Subscribers can select music of their choice or any other pre-recorded sound such as traffic noise for playing in the background during a call to any number. We have applied for a patent for this application.


Mobile Radio
With its expertise in mobile technology and the delivery of music-related Value-Added Services, Planet41 decided to create a new service called Mobile Radio, designed to provide the personalization of an MP3 player to a mass audience via their mobile phones.
