Livewire Mobile Optimizes Mobile Music Service with Dolby Media Generator
Brings High-quality, Bandwidth-efficient Audio Encoding for On-the-go Content

LITTLETON, Mass., April 27, 2011 – Livewire Mobile (otcmarkets: LVWR), a one-stop digital content solutions provider for carriers, handset and tablet manufacturers, and media companies, has collaborated with Dolby Laboratories, Inc. to optimize the delivery and playback of its full-track music service for mobile users.

Dolby® Media Generator will provide high-quality, bandwidth-efficient audio content preparation for Livewire Mobile’s end-to-end mobile music service. Dolby Media Generator provides an advanced set of tools that empower content owners, aggregators, and distributors to format material for more reliable and efficient delivery, lower storage and bandwidth costs, and higher playback quality.

Livewire Mobile plans to encode its entire music catalog, featuring content from the four major labels and over 3000 independent labels, in Dolby Pulse, which is Dolby's digital format based on the High-Efficiency AAC (HE AAC) audio codec. Dolby Pulse combines the efficiency and widespread compatibility of HE AAC audio coding with Dolby's proven quality and audio expertise, ensuring the optimal combination of quality, efficiency, and integrity of content. The ability of Dolby Pulse to deliver high quality stereo audio at bitrates of 48Kbps or lower makes it perfectly suited for mobile network delivery. Livewire Mobile will begin offering its music service enabled with Dolby technology in July 2011.

“Mobile users want the same high-quality listening experience they receive on their home music systems while they are on the go,” said Tom Maguire, vice president, mobile, Dolby Laboratories, Inc. “Collaborating with Livewire Mobile allows us to provide a wider audience of users with an incredible listening experience.”

“We always strive to provide our customers with the best-in-class content available,” said Matthew Stecker, president and CEO of Livewire Mobile. “Dolby Media Generator and Dolby Pulse will allow us to offer enhanced audio quality to end users while minimizing bandwidth and storage costs for our mobile operator customers.”
