CubeAgent Mobile
Carrier Grade LTE Broadcast component for any device
The CubeAgent Mobile provides Multicast/Broadcast services (eMBMS and 5GMBS) for Video Delivery, Push VoD and Push Files. It comes with an SDK to help application developpers to easily drive Multicast/Broadcast capable 4G/5G capable modems. A variety of eMBMS capable modems are supported through either AIDL, AT Commands or native C APIs.
Highlights
NorthBound APIs for Video Streaming and VOD
The CubeAgent Mobile provides APIs to manage DASH and HLS live contents, including the dynamic switch between unicast and broadcast (MooD). APIs for file download are provided too, so applications can receive scheduled VOD or any large files over LTE-B.
3GPP Compliant
The CubeAgent Modem Abstraction Layer allows CubeAgent Mobile to be integrated with any LTE modem which supports eMBMS. It works with a growing number of LTE chips, including The CubeAgent Mobile implements the 3GPP release 14 and is compatible with ENENSYS' MediaCast Mobile and other compliant eMBMS multicast servers.
It implements powerful FEC decoding algorithms (Raptor 10, LDPC) to efficiently correct error transmissions.
Deployment on any Platform
The CubeAgent Mobile can be deployed on any Android eMBMS capable device. It can also be ported on many operating systems, such as embedded Linux of eMBMS capable Home Gateways.
