Nokia Siemens raises the ante on multiscreen video

Nokia Siemens Networks has launched a new software client for 'any device with a screen' that allows people to watch TV via any network, integrating over-the-top TV and broadcast TV with Web and social network access.

The new software client provides a user interface for services delivered via the company's Ubiquity Multiscreen TV platform (launched last March), irrespective of location or device. The Ubiquity Multiscreen TV platform enables operators to provide live, recorded or on-demand TV to mobiles phones, Internet-connected computers and television screens. The new software client is based on Nokia's open source Qt cross-platform application and user interface framework, and is designed to enable a consistent user experience across all devices.
