Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation Announces 'WEAV' - The Next Generation of Audio and Video Compression

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation is currently in beta testing of its 15th iteration for the next generation of audio and video compression. After 10 years of researching, patenting, and developing the next generation of compression, Ubiquity is going to change the way the world sees and hears mobile content.

Ubiquity relies on a host of engineers headed by the CTO Kristian Sandberg, Ph.D, Sengan Baring-Gould Ph.D, and Alejandro Cantarero Ph.D. Kristian Sandberg is a Ph.D in Applied Mathematics and has used his knowledge in algorithmic development to help create the next generation compression technology. Kristian Sandberg says, "Ubiquity's compression will allow high quality streaming at a lower computational complexity then what is in the current marketplace." Sengan Baring-Gould Ph.D in Artificial Intelligence wrote the book on how to create mobile applications for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, and the recently released iPad using Cocoa Touch technology.  Sengan says, "The WEAV compression allows the end user the ability to view and hear content on multiple platforms not just on platforms that provide specific hardware." Sengan Brings 20 years of experience in code optimization and the development of artificial intelligence into programs. Alejandro Cantarero rounds off the team with his intimate knowledge of applied mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, and 3-D technology.

Dr. Jeff Cole, who was just recently added to Ubiquity's Board of Directors said, "I became convinced in the mid- to late-90s that interactive digital technology – first the web and now mobile – was going to be far more powerful than the traditional media of television and print." Ubiquity's compression is a software program designed to deliver both faster and increased picture and audio quality to both the internet and mobile devices.

Mobile carriers to the likes of AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint PCS, will benefit from Ubiquity's next generation compression. Ubiquity's compression will save millions in bandwidth costs to mobile carriers, and will provide the end user with a higher quality experience. The end user benefits from Ubiquity's compression by experiencing longer battery-lives on their digital devices while keeping their digital devices cooler. Ubiquity's compression delivers higher visual quality, a quicker response time, and stall-free playback while compressing audio and video simultaneously at 1000:1.

Ubiquity's compression uses an algorithm that produces better quality video and audio than MPEG-4 (H264) with a lower computational complexity. Ubiquity's next generation compression adds the ability to restore, rescale, zoom, and focus, in addition to improving the compression quality further.

Ubiquity's Chairman and CEO, Christopher Carmichael said, "After 10 years of development, the WEAV project is going to be ground breaking for the mobile industry."
