Cybercom makes live broadcasting from mobile phones a reality

Cybercom, using innovative technology from software developer Mashmobile and
Bambuser, developed a solution to view a real-time feed from a mobile phone on a
news site. The technology is currently debuting at the Lund Carnival, where over
50 carnival participants will use mobile phones to broadcast a live,
behind-the-scenes documentary.

“This is a completely new method for media companies,” says Mattias Johansson,
business developer at Cybercom Sweden South. “We're already receiving requests
from newspapers that want to transmit live feeds from mobile phones. The cost is
much lower than with current technology.”

Cybercom is behind the systems integration and software application that make
the live feed available at a website while recording. 

The technology is making its entrance for the first time in a real-life
situation at one of Sweden's largest student events - the Lund Carnival. The
solution has been made with Sony Ericsson who donated the phones, Telia who
contributed the subscriptions and Mashmobile and Bambuser who stand behind the
technology. 

Around 50 carnival riders will transmit real-time feeds from behind the scenes.
The live correspondent reports can be viewed at

Put simply, the mobile phones are transformed from terminals into servers that
allow a designated website to connect and display video as it is recorded. The
geographic location of the reporter is shown, and still images can be downloaded
from the mobile phone during broadcasting.
