Mundu radio partners Sri Lankan operator for Music Station
MUMBAI: Geodesic's Mundu Radio has been roped in by Sri Lanka's mobile carrier Dialog Telekom to initiate an internet radio service called 'Music Station.'
The Mundu Radio platform is powered to offer internet radio service to consumers across mobile networks. The service has niche genres and international content across genres such as such as Pop, Rock, Hip-hop, Jazz and much more. The technology is designed to scale seamlessly, allowing unlimited channels to be added to the offering.
It has a large number of licensed internet radio stations and is designed and optimised for mobile phones. It works across 2G and 3G data networks. Dialog's subscribers can seamlessly tune into a range of exciting entertainment and information channels across the world without the need to carry an additional music device.
Speaking about the deployment, Geodesic MD Kiran Kulkarni said, "This is an exciting phase for Mundu Radio, as we have signed up deals with a number of operators in India, Asia and far-east. We are confident of the service doing well in Sri Lanka, and being the number one service provider in Sri Lanka, we are indeed very proud to be associated with Dialog Telekom."
Dialog Music Station would offer Dialog subscribers the ease of tuning into radio stations, streaming 24x7, and listen to music in a wider variety of genres. Geodesic has earlier also provided Mundu radio to major telecom players like Idea, Tata Teleservices Ltd.
Commenting on the affiliation, Dialog Mobile CEO Supun Weerasinghe said, "The sphere of mobility is evolving at a fast pace, beyond the paradigm of communication. Today it encompasses infotainment, lifestyle, services and much more and Dialog has been at the forefront of presenting value-added innovations to customers in the South Asian region. In delivering superior value to consumer experience, it is our continuous philosophy to build lasting relations with like-minded entities, and our association with Geodesic will complement our individual competencies."
Currently, Music Station includes local Sinhala language content, which was delivered by Dialog's long standing partner Microimage. Microimage plays the essential role of content delivery platform for local content to provide this service as they have licensed the Radio Management Platform for this service.
