iOS Video



Most streamed video content available today is encoded with Adobe® Flash® technology. But mobile devices running Apple® iOS (Apple iPhone® and iPad®) are not designed to view this enormous and growing selection of news and entertainment content. With Mobixell Seamless Access, mobile operators can deliver Adobe Flash video content to all of their subscribers who use Apple iOS devices.

No Adobe Flash Support in Apple iOS

In addition to video content, soon Mobixell Seamless Access will also make it possible for people with iOS devices to browse websites which use Adobe Flash technology for navigation controls such as menus.

Solution Benefits

Flash content on iOS devices is an important piece of the total solution for ensuring that subscribers’ video viewing expectations are met.

  • Champion the solution for a problem that irritates many high-value customers when content is not supported by their devices.
  • Competitive advantage: When a mobile operator can offer all Apple iOS users an optimized video experience, their subscribers all get more out of their iPhones and iPads than with other operators.


No Native Support for Flash
Technology with Apple iOS

With hundreds of millions of people using devices running Apple iOS1, customers expect a high level of video quality when viewing video on one of the most advanced and intuitive mobile devices ever invented. But expectations are not met when customers find they cannot watch video or browse many popular sites on their devices because their device does not support Adobe Flash technology. This has led to a considerable amount of frustration as subscribers do not always know why they cannot see sites in the same way they can on their desktop and laptop computers.

The lack of support for Adobe Flash technology on iOS devices has created problems for mobile operators, as well – being held responsible by subscribers, for example, and increased support calls. There are partial client-based solutions available for subscribers; however, they need to be downloaded and installed individually by each customer, weakening the operator’s ability to control the quality of their subscribers’ user experience.

Seamless Access Delivers Flash Video
Content to Apple iPhones and iPads

The Seamless Access 5 clientless solution performs real-time server-side adaptation of Adobe Flash video content to the format supported by the Apple HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) protocol. This helps mobile operators to ensure consistently high quality of experience for all subscribers. With Mobixell Seamless Access, mobile operators can hand over control of the video viewing experience to their customers without payment, app downloads or even configurations.
