The concept of mobile video is inevitable with the increasing demand and advancements of mobile devices. This afternoon, a session titled "The Future of Video Communications on Mobile Devices," was held at ITEXPO East in Miami.
Panelists included Doug Makishima, COO and VP of mobile communications at D2 Technologies and director of business development convergence solutions at Samsung Telecommunications America, Hanna Tong. Doug Mohney, editor-in-chief of the HD Voice News was the moderator of this panel.
Makishima explained the reason for the push to mobile video having to do with drivers and enablers of video communication. He discussed how for consumers today, there are 3 main screens that are used: a PC, a television or a smartphone or tablet. Video has successfully conquered the first two screens and is now making its way to the top of the mobile device list.
Applications like Skype and features on mobile devices such as the front-facing camera, also serve as enablers of the movement to mobile video.
Because of options such as these, mobile video communications are now becoming more readily available for mainstream users.
Tong related the popularity of mobile video to her teenage children, explaining that mobile video conferencing is even changing the way of communication for kids. She believes this will be beneficial when younger generations enter the workforce and are already comfortable with using mobile video communications.
This session also touched on trends in enterprise communications, advances in video technology, the growth of cellular networks, and the latest mobile devices, to discuss if and when video will become a mainstay in the mobile enterprise.
