Vimio PLC is another Dublin-based company that offers turnkey media distribution solutions and content to mobile operators, which enable multimedia content to be delivered to mobile phones. This includes an advanced DRM (digital rights management) system to prevent unauthorized copying of copyright protected material. Live TV, full track music, video, karaoke, ring tones, true tones, Java games, audio books and other mobile content can all be distributed with one common distribution platform over CDMA, GPRS, EDGE and 3G networks.
Padraic Marren, VP, lists some of Vimio’s advantages as a content provider. “The DRM technology ensures digital rights integrity while the jukebox technology prevents copying and sharing. The corollary benefits include a simple pay-per-play revenue model as well as allowing rights holders to control content availability.” Incidentally, though the company is Irish with HQ in Dublin, its R&D center is in Umea in Sweden. This dichotomy however is a result of Vimio’s patent being based on 20 years R&D in signal compression at Umea University.
