5 Press Release Solbox launched technology for Apple's HTTP Live Streaming in Android Android devices can receive the same high definition and high quality streaming services as ios devices through Solbox HLS to support Apple's HTTP live streaming in Android environment Seoul, Korea July, 2012 Solbox ( a CDN and cloud specialist, announced that it has developed Solbox HLS (SB HTTP Live Streaming) for enabling the Apple's HTTP Live Streaming in Android environment. Solbox HLS allows Android device users to enjoy, without limitations, the contents created with the HTTP Live Streaming Protocol which has not been supported in Android 2.3 or lower versions until now. Android 3.0 or higher versions support HTTP Live Streaming, but Android 2.3 or lower versions which account for about 90% of all Android devices around the world only support the RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol). As the HTTP protocol based streaming is becoming the norm recently, HTTP Live Streaming services are increasing. As a result, most users of Android devices that only support RTSP are experiencing such problems as broken streaming and low image quality. To solve this problem, Solbox prevented firewall blocking and minimized packet loss in case of protocol conversion. Also Solbox minimized compatibility issues between different devices by interworking with the Media Framework that is included in Android by default. Furthermore, Solbox ensured stable streaming environment even in low-specification devices by lowering CPU usage through optimized hardware decoding support so that Android devices can receive the same high definition and high quality streaming services as ios devices.
