The skyTuneZ software includes five main components:

1. The skyTuneZ Media Storage Server provides online storage for user's photos, videos and music. Users upload media from their PC to the storage system, where the skyTuneZ media storage server prepares the media for streaming to the mobile device. The skyTuneZ web user interface allows users to view and manage their collection of online media.
   
   
2. The skyTuneZ Media Application Server optimizes real time delivery of media from the skyTuneZ online storage to the mobile device. The software continuously and dynamically analyzes the bandwidth available to the mobile handset to optimize the stream for maximum quality.
   
   
3. The skyTuneZ Client consists of Java, Symbian, Brew or Windows Mobile software that runs on the mobile handset. The skyTuneZ client plays back multimedia streams sent from the media application server. The client allows rapid search through large online media libraries and automatically uploads photos and videos taken with the mobile client camera to the user's online storage.
   
   
4. The skyTuneZ PC Upload Tool installs on the user's PC and allows them to move mass amounts of their media into the online storage system. The upload tool automatically updates the online storage when new media is added to a user's PC.
   
   
5. The skyTuneZ Operations Server provides a full set of system management functions. The operations server monitors all the components of the skyTuneZ service, assuring the highest levels of system availability. The operations server provides a full set of reports for service level monitoring, capacity planning and marketing analysis. The skyTuneZ system includes a flexible subscriber billing system capable of billing by time or data usage, configurable based on desired commercial models.
   
   

The advantages of skyTuneZ:


• Dynamically Transrates Digital Media Content: skyTuneZ is the only place-shifting application that dynamically transrates media content to allow media to be streamed over any data network.
  
  
• Allows for Existing File Formats. Virtually any media file format can be streamed or downloaded to a mobile phone. No special conversions necessary by the user - skyTuneZ will transcode virtually any media format or any media playlist, providing unlimited access to virtually any media file stored on a home computer.
  
  
• Uses Devices Already in Production. Because skyTuneZ works with existing devices, consumers won't need to buy expensive, high-end mobile phones to take full advantage of the unique benefits that place-shifting has to offer – in fact, they can use even the most basic, inexpensive cell phone on the market.
  
  
• Uninterrupted Streaming: skyTuneZ has the ability to use the phone's internal memory to buffer the media stream. Even a loss of data connections of up to 15 minutes will result in no interruption of play depending on the mobile phone memory.
  
  
• Unparalleled Back Office Support: CMWare has built, from the ground up, a complete system offering a turn-key service solution to mobile operators. Created by a team with extensive network operations experience, CMWare understands how to operate a carrier-class service infrastructure. CMWare offers the skyTuneZ system as a white label, hosted service that integrates with the mobile carriers systems for authentication and billing. Alternatively, CMWare can provide the full skyTuneZ infrastructure to the mobile operator for complete integration with their operations.In either case, the skyTuneZ system allows mobile operators a simple way to offer advanced media services to their subscribers, using the phones already on their network
