Bambuser is teaming up with Polopoly
The mobile streaming market is definitely hot these days. One day Flixwagon announces that they are selling in-house solutions for media companies, the next day Bambuser is answering. Bambuser have made a deal with another Swedish company, Poloply, to include live mobile streaming in their CMS. Poloply has nearly $1 billion USD worth of software installed worldwide and supports in excess of 800 customers in more than 40 countries, according to a press release.
Bambuser has one advantage over Flixwagon. Their streaming system can produce multiple mobile phone streams in one channel. Pretty much the same way you can use Qik and Mogulus. My biggest problem with Bambuser lately have been that their servers seems overloaded, producing streams with bad quality. My own company is already using Polopoly. It will be exciting to see how much the streaming addendum will cost and how an in-house solution will effect the quality. My guess is that the swedes are back in the race again, competing with Qik and Flixwagon.
