Solaiemes, RedHerring 100 Europe 2008 Finalist !!!

Solaiemes has been selected by RedHerring as Finalist of the RedHerring 100 Europe 2008 Awards. We thank this kind of mentions just when our starp-up is 18 months old, a baby just walking but not able to speak very clear yet :-).

We are growing, our solutions infrastructure is ready, we have projects deploying our technologies, and first adopters customers interested, and this kind of initiatives help to highlight brand awareness. In few months our hard work has been compensated with VC investment, several important projects for us, the GSMA shorlisting us as Top Mobile Innovators at Mobile Asia Congress, being awarded by Bancaja at their Entrepreneurship Awards and finally being finalist at RedHerring 100.
Hope this kind of mentions will stimulate "first adopters" of new technologies in the same way they stimulate VC to invest :-)

Congratulations to all the other finalist start-up, specially the spanish ones, je je, and of course, all the very young start-ups at seed/A funding round :-), the hardest but also the most challenging times.

thanks again

Chema interviewed by ServicesMobiles Site

Chema was interviewed by the french specialized mobile technology site http://www.servicesmobiles.fr/

The journalist uploaded the interview to YouTube.

Yes ! We did, using 3G VideoShare to real time content upload to YouTube

Hi,

After showcasing use cases of our LiveServe Suite Infrastructure as real time broadcasting video from 3G VideoShare capable handset. (We use currently the native client included Nokia N73 and other N Series and several E Series ) as:

• real time videobroadcasting inserted as widget in whatever WEB 2.0 site as blogger.com
• real time videoposting in a dedicated blogger site

We unveil how uploading real time content from wherever you are, at any time to YouTube. The stream could be so long as your handset battery life decides :-)
Our first YouTube realtime video-upload using 3G VideoShare with our platform:

original size is QCIF (176x144) and the UMTS uplink was 64 kbps, the quality then is limited, hope soon the uplink rate will reach 128 kbps and the handset clients will do also.

for YouTube fanatics a nice enhancement, it could be operated by independent hosting or even better using carrier branded commercial videoshare services !!!

LiveServe 2.0...when Mobile and WEB 2.0 walk together :-)

Hi, we will publish in the next few days a press release in out website, but just in advance for our readers, we are going to unveil our first product reaching the second release, the LiveServe.

Here you can find a video with a couple of use cases, integration as Widget of 3G VideoShare "See What I See" in blogger public site, and the video-real-time-autoposting, a way to create personal videoblogs from whatever you are in your important moments. Concepts as video-twiter become feasible, and a lot of enterprise productivity solutions could be based in real time videoreporting.
We did not install anything in the device, we are using native features as VideoShare and can use videocall (but videocall has worse performace), these are network infrastructure based solutions.

It is time for carriers to make the move towards IMS, or at least enable this kind of services increasing ARPU, and new MVNO's to take a look about this services as virgin market segment to get customers, not only techy individuals but media companies, services companies, emergency forces, law & reinforcement, etc.


be there, from now on to the Mobile Congress week we will unveil new products

keep in touch  :-)

best regards.

now...taking off...!!!

When coming from a multinational huge company, it is difficult to become entrepreneur with not initial VC backing your project, and it is a difficult change not only regarding financial risk but working enviroment. Working in facilities with 300 colleagues and the day after working alone, or with 1 or 2 people, it was hard at the beginning, but the week ending we had our first town-hall with more than 10 people, partners, employees, thesis developers and Java university researchers involved with our project. I was happy, even realizing that till now tidy office is now being under the entrophy :-) and then some kind of combat will take place between jedi's and dark side of the mess.

But the important thing is that Solaiemes is taking off, we attract talent, we got clients, our technologies are being recognized, and the critical mass point is being achieved.

Solaiemes innovation being recognized !

It is hard to start-up a company from scratch, you know... finding right partners, recruiting enthusiastic people, making the business plan, reviewing the business plan, correcting the business plan ;-), research funds, bureaucracy, develope fast first prototypes of product portfolio, the challenge of getting first customers, got customers happy after trusting us.

Just arriving to our first "birthday" we just received the good new about being selected as a 'Top Innovator' for the GSMA's Mobile Innovation Summit at Asian Mobile Congress in Macau (12-13/November).
