GameStreamer Streaming Technology; In-Car Game Player and Store Enable Passengers to Buy and Play Games Delivered in Real-Time from the Cloud

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- CES, the Venetian Hotel, Veronese Suite 2503 -- ng Connect Program members GameStreamer, a next generation digital distribution network for video games, and Alcatel-Lucent will demonstrate the first streaming delivery of a video game to an in-vehicle entertainment system over a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Passengers in the program's LTE Connected Car will be able to browse a GameStreamer-powered store, purchase and play a game all from the in-vehicle entertainment system. The demonstration illustrates the capabilities possible on LTE next generation wireless broadband networks as envisioned by the ng Connect Program. GameStreamer technology used to provide this capability consists of its non-linear predictive streaming and in-vehicle player application and game store.

"People passionately enjoy games and are already actively playing them through Internet connected devices such as PC's, consoles and mobile phones. We felt enabling video games in a connected car was a natural addition to these devices and one game players will welcome with open arms," stated Steig Westerberg, COO and co-founder, GameStreamer. "The demo at CES will translate into a whole new revenue stream for wireless operators in that they can connect the automobile to the cloud and capture the imagination of both the game developer community as well as avid game players everywhere."

ng Connect Program member Alcatel-Lucent supplied its industry-leading solution for end-to-end LTE network, integrating Converged Radio Access Network (RAN) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC), and delivering super fast download speeds with reduced latency, through prototype LTE modem technology. This showcases how Alcatel-Lucent leverages wireless innovations and IP market leadership to deliver unprecedented scalability, quality of experience to LTE end-users, while enabling new service and business models for wireless operators.

The GameStreamer in-car video game store and streaming player delivers an on-demand game play experience and negates the need for physical media discs as players can select games from the store and immediately begin playing while the game is being streamed in real-time from the cloud.

This demonstration is one of the latest Solution Concepts from the ng Connect Program that showcase how 4G/LTE networks will enhance the way people communicate from digital signage to eHealthcare to mobile enhanced reality and much more.
