THEY SAID IT COULDN’T BE DONE

Today we receive all sorts of information via mobile phones – pictures, film, sound, and text. This surge of information demands a standardised technological platform, and the new ISO standard MPEG-21 addresses this demand. MPEG-21 describes the compatibility of the different components that form the very infrastructure for receiving and sending multi-media information. Adactus, a spin-off company from the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications at NTNU, has developed the software that allows the display of all types of information, irrespective of format and content, on mobile phones.
