Australian Momentum Technologies Group this week won a prestigious 3G AList Award for its work supplying Victoria-based Caulfield Grammar School with a live wireless video streaming service over the Internet, allowing them to speak to locations in rural Australia along with a campus in Nanjing, China.The company is known for delivering virtual communication solutions to many different industries – from getting real-time video of life-threatening emergency situations, to streaming educational sessions into classrooms, according to its website.

The honour was awarded on Wednesday in San Francisco, where Momentum Technologies won a 2007 3G A-List Award at the CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment 2007, one of the largest wireless data events in the telecoms industry.

The award was won in the Education Category, recognising the company’s wireless video-streaming technology called m-View, which operates on the Telstra Next G network.

The Qualcomm-sponsored awards program, now celebrating its fifth year, recognises innovative and successful enterprise wireless data solutions based on 3G mobile network standards.

Momentum CEO Adele Whish-Wilson said, “We’re very excited to be named a winner in this prestigious international award and grateful to our partner, Telstra, for nominating us for this award.

“m-View has been recognised on the world stage for revolutionising the way our clients work and Telstra’s Next G mobile broadband network provides the innovation platform to enable real-time convergence”.

Used with Telstra Next G, m-View brings live, mobile video streaming to a broad range of users in public safety, emergency services, health, education, industrial and more, providing them with significant safety, efficiency and cost savings.

In the case which won Momentum the prestigious award, the company worked with Caulfield Grammar School where m-View allowed videographers to go beyond traditional videoconferencing applications and take cameras outside wherever they needed to go and have that video streamed wirelessly to its five campuses simultaneously.
