RealNetworks makes wireless streaming easier

RealNetworks has released an update to their Helix Server Unlimited software. With this update, users will have the capability to stream audio and video content to wireless devices. The target for the upgrade is companies who want to stream content to their employees, clients or to customers, but we know what you have in mind thinking.

The Helix Server software already supported RealAudio, RealVideo, Windows Media, MP3, MPEG-4 and Quicktime. That obviously won’t change. What the update does add is 3GPP technology, which is responsible for the streaming. The update also includes newer versions of the management protocol and firewall security.

As the name would indicate, the Helix Server Unlimited supports unlimited download streams. There are other products capped at 25 or 100 streams.

The upgrade has been released, but the pricing isn’t yet available.
