eMM's early support for Android vindicated by market

Making the decision between the two players iPhone and Android is largely a matter of preference. Both Apple and Google deliver the mobile technology that keeps you connected on the go, but they do go about it differently. Being aware of those differences eMM made the right choice in which platform to support.
more...

Since the beginning of the iPhone, Apple iOS and Google's Android operating systems run almost 85% of the mobile devices sold. Apple has historically dominated the market in terms of both sales and market share. But over the past year, Google's Android made significant strides from 43,1 % of mobile devices sold in Q2 2011 to 64,1 % sold in Q2 2012, whereas Apple remained about the same 18,8%. Apple's upcoming iPhone 5 will likely maintain and broaden its loyal following, as there are just three base models currently available: the 3G, the 4 and the 4S - but Android will continue to increase in popularity, as there are more than 70 Android phones available on the market.

eMM has supported Android devices from the beginning. Our clients can now enjoy video playback of alerts on the mobile platform of choice.

RAI uses the eMedia Pegasus System for Real-Time Content Control Solutions

The Pegasus System has been delivered to RAI - Radiotelevisione Italiana as an industrial test-bed to verify the effectiveness of a real-time audio monitoring system to prevent offensive content reaching an unintended audience. Any foul or obscene word will be detected and removed from any broadcast, live or pre-recorded. The real-time application makes use of a small delay in the transmission process allowing an offensive term to be replaced with a beep.
