The software test bench enables NTT DoCoMo to verify compliance with the newly developed 3G-324M standard. This standard is dedicated to the 2-way communication of real-time video and audio over 3G mobile networks. Interoperability will be confirmed by the physical connection of prototype terminals from different companies, allowing the completion of video phone calls over a simulated error-prone channel. The testing will be conducted as part of NTT DoCoMo's ongoing effort to ensure interoperability among companies seeking to meet 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) specifications for subscriber equipment, network infrastructure, and wireless multimedia applications such as those pioneered by PacketVideo in time for NTT DoCoMo's planned launch of its Wideband CDMA networks in Japan in early 2001. ''We are very pleased with the contribution PacketVideo's engineering team has made in delivering a bi-directional audio-visual communication software test bench,'' said Dr. Hirotaka Nakano, Head of Multimedia Laboratories, NTT DoCoMo. ''We expect this jointly developed software not only to validate 3GPP's specifications, but also to deliver a platform for testing visual communication interoperability over Wideband CDMA networks.'' PacketVideo's president and chief technology officer, Dr. James Brailean, who spearheaded the MPEG-4 standards development related to wireless multimedia transmission prior to founding PacketVideo, saluted NTT DoCoMo's leadership and noted, ''PacketVideo is very pleased to have been selected by DoCoMo to participate in the 3GPP process and help shape these important upcoming interoperability tests. Our joint development with DoCoMo will enable both parties to resolve a number of technical issues that will pave the way for timely introduction of wireless multimedia services in the increasingly robust digital cellular networks being deployed around the world.'' About NTT DoCoMo NTT Mobile Communications Network, Inc. (NTT DoCoMo), Japan's largest mobile communications operator, took over in July 1992 the mobile communications operations and sales of NTT, Japan's largest telecommunications company (recently reorganized). It provides a comprehensive range of wireless services including cellular telephone, paging, satellite mobile communications, maritime and in-flight telephone, and more. These services are supplied nationwide by nine regional subsidiaries, and the company also has subsidiaries in Palo Alto (NTT DoCoMo USA, Inc.), Paris (DoCoMo Europe S.A.) and Brazil (NTT DoCoMo Telecommunicacoes do Brasil Limitada). NTT DoCoMo had more than 28.4 million mobile phone subscribers as of November 1999, including users of Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) and Personal Handyphone System (PHS) mobile phones. Consolidated sales amounted to 3.1 trillion Yen (US$ 27 billion) in fiscal 1998 (ended March 1999). NTT DoCoMo expects to introduce a third-generation mobile communications system based on its Wideband CDMA (W-CDMA) system in the spring of 2001. The company was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in October 1998. To learn more, visit NTT DoCoMo's Web site at www.nttdocomo.com. About PacketVideo Corp.
