High Speed Net Solutions Becomes a Core Developer For
QUALCOMM's BrewPlatform
RALEIGH, N.C., Mar 28, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- High Speed Net
Solutions (OTC PinkSheets: HSNS) announced today that it has become a core
developer for QUALCOMM's (Nasdaq: QCOM) Binary Runtime Environment for
Wireless(TM) (BREW(TM)) platform. BREW is an applications platform for wireless
devices using a variety of air interfaces including, among others, Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA), the leading standard for third generation, high speed
wireless voice and data communications.
High Speed's Summus Technology Group, a pioneer in media solutions for
encoding, managing and distributing digital content, will develop multimedia
applications for QUALCOMM's BREW platform. The BREW platform provides a
standard programming environment that gives software developers the tools to
create compelling wireless Internet applications and services that can be utilized by
carriers to offer to their customers.
The multimedia quality that High Speed's technology will allow carriers to provide
their customers with, will fundamentally change the way consumers communicate
and use mobile products.
Currently, wireless handset applications development is virtually closed to
third-party developers. QUALCOMM chose to work with High Speed's Summus
Technology development group because of its unique compression technology.
Summus will work with QUALCOMM to BREW-enable a multimedia platform for
applications such as video and image delivery and playback as well as 3-D graphics
delivery and rendering. As such, Summus intends to add key functionality to
QUALCOMM's BREW platform.
Peggy Johnson, Senior Vice President of QUALCOMM and General Manager of
QUALCOMM Internet Services said, "We are excited about this association and the
potential to make it easier for carriers to deliver rich media content over their CDMA
networks." She added, "Summus' leadership in developing multimedia applications
for the mobile and wireless marketplace will provide a powerful suite of multimedia
tools for the growing community of developers, manufacturers and carriers who are
interested in initiating BREW-enabled services."
Dr. Bjorn Jawerth, co-CEO & Chief Scientist, High Speed Net Solutions said, "By
incorporating our multimedia platform into QUALCOMM's BREW platform, we can
open up a new channel for rich media content distribution over wireless networks to
mobile devices. We are targeting an incredibly efficient solution and we very much
look forward to coordinating our efforts with QUALCOMM and adding to the
expertise they provide."
