In the high growth market, the consumer demand changes every moment. The quantum leap from voice to multimedia-rich data services is driving consumer demand for mobile handsets with advanced features. Handset manufacturers are facing a huge pressure due to the increased rate of outdated technologies and decreased product development life-cycle. As manufacturers continue to increase their market coverage, there is a need for a local flavour within new models. Similarly, in an endeavour to introduce newer handsets and applications, service providers need to validate these before bringing them into service. Tech Mahindra has extensive experience of working with leading telecom equipment manufacturers and service providers worldwide. The company, with this practice, helps handset manufacturers and ecosystem providers in their journey to product success. Tech Mahindra also offers engineering services to handset manufacturers, chipset manufacturers and mobile handset software suppliers in the areas of platform and application software. Service Offerings in the Handset domain Platform Engineering: Platform Engineering includes development of device drivers, operating systems, speech and multimedia, wireless and supplementary protocols, connectivity protocols and mobile application. Tech Mahindra has proprietary frameworks and components to help manufacturers accelerate product development. Features and Application Development: Tech Mahindra has vast experience in various domains such as SIP, RTP/RTSP/RTCP, UDP-TCP/IP, Bluetooth, H.324M, Pict Bridge and development of new features, like assisted GPS for location services, video messaging, digital viewfinder, voice recorder and FM receiver. Localisation: Tech Mahindra has experience of working with telecom providers in various geographies. The company works with handset manufacturers and mobile operators as a preferred vendor to provide applications and services in local languages reflecting the local preferences.

Testing: To meet the ever increasing quality expectations of mobile users, and achieve targeted market penetration, Original Equipment Manufacturers / Device Manufacturers (OEMs / ODMs) and network operators need to engage in ongoing specialised testing of mobile handsets for interoperability with networks and content, compliance testing with standards body, user experience testing on multiple phone models. This human resource intensive activity demands quick ramp up and ramp down of skilled resources to address the peak and lean periods of the handset product life cycle and respond to markets in an effective way. Tech Mahindra has brought together its years of experience in handset testing through its automated test tool, Tech Mahindra-AToM. It has a range of testing services for a handset manufacturer and operator, including Development Testing, System Testing, Conformance Testing, Field Testing and Operator Acceptance Testing. The testing services for OEMs include test planning as per handset specifications and standards, sanity and complete testing of engineering samples, system integration testing for various protocol layers, GCF, IOT, field test, stress and performance testing for stable pilot samples and operator acceptance testing. Operator testing primarily includes user acceptance and interoperability from the perspective of the network operators infrastructure. Tech Mahindra also conducts extensive field and drive testing to ensure the highest quality and superior user experience. Digital Media Devices and Set Top Boxes: Due to service convergence in the multimedia industry, quadra-play and enhanced multimedia has caused a digital revolution. Todays users demand rich applications on a single device. Market segments are wide-ranging and opportunity windows are very time-sensitive. To deliver on time, OEMs and ODMs are continuously faced with challenges to provide mature software platforms and integrated hardware / software solutions. With a defined focus on telecom, Tech Mahindra can envisage the perpetually evolving product development and testing activities around equipment in the Digital Media handling devices, such as STBs, PVRs, DMAs, PMPs, etc. Media Players and Recorders: Digital media handling is becoming an integral part of many devices such as photo storage equipments, personal media players, mobile TVs, etc. As a result, OEMs are bound to extend their product features. Tech Mahindra, with its rich experience in implementing, integrating and customising audio, video & image codecs, along with experience with popular rendering frameworks, contributes not only to design and development of such products but also helps lay the product roadmap and product sustenance.

Its framework, TechM Adapt, facilitates easy adaptation of different middleware onto underlying chipset variants, thus shrinking the time-to-market window. Network Customisation: Tech Mahindra provides extensive network customization, right from UI configuration to hardware configuration and peripheral management. Network operators and broadcasters constantly offer differentiated services in order to stay ahead of competition, which calls for customisations of STBs to the specifics of the network. Tech Mahindra understands the sensitive business dynamics in this

realm. Network customisation activities typically entail SI / PSI configuration, CA related changes, broadcast application development / enhancement, application management engines, user screen changes, Audio / Video control, hardware components / drivers configuration, peripherals management, etc. Application Development: Some of the native and browser-based applications that TechM has expertise in are: Resident Applications: EPG, DVR, VoD, etc. Downloadable Applications: Games, communication agents for alerts, authentications, etc. Video Centric Applications: Advertisements, tickers, triggers, coupons, games, polling, quizzes, etc. Thin Client Applications: Betting, news & information, t-commerce, t-mail, chatting, messaging etc. Testing: Tech Mahindra has an exclusive test lab with head-end simulators for popular platforms and middleware.
