Global IP Solutions has announced today the availability of its VideoEngine Mobile on the Windows Mobile platform, which enables peer-to-peer video calling and multi-point video conferencing on mobile phones. Using VideoEngine Mobile, wireless carriers, application developers and mobile handset manufacturers can "provide high-quality video calls, even under adverse network conditions."

The company has partnered with Marvell Technology to "ensure its media processing software provides the most advanced mobile phone features on the Marvell chipset and to highly optimise it for the XScale PXA310 devices including the Hewlett-Packard iPAQ series, Samsung's SGH-i780 and Gigabyte's GSmart MS808."

According to a recent report from NSR, a research firm specialising in satellite and wireless technology and applications, mobile TV and mobile video services are projected to grow almost ten-fold to 566 million users by 2013.

GIPS claims to be leveraging its real-time communications capabilities to manage network effects and hardware limitations to provide "a superior mobile video call experience, while addressing the most complex voice and video-related issues in IP communications, such as packet loss and lip synchronisation."

Future releases of VideoEngine Mobile will also support other popular mobile platforms including Symbian and Apple's iPhone, as well as additional hardware platforms for Windows Mobile.
