Turku based Axel Technologies redefines television on-the-go with Fuugo™

Turku Science Park based Axel Technologies, a pioneer in mobile TV software technologies, announced its Fuugo™ product with a goal to redefine television by greatly simplifying the way people find video and TV content. Axel indicated that Fuugo™ is optimized for a range of mobile and portable devices, such as on the Intel Atom processor based netbooks and smartphones and will make it possible for consumers to enjoy personalized TV content on-the-go.

Fuugo™ is the first TV application for personalizing a content stream by blending content choices from broadcast, mobile, and Internet TV. Fuugo™ utilizes social media, recommendations, user metrics and various content sources for presentation of TV and video programs that match your favourites, your interests, and what your social network likes. Fuugo™ is the first product of this new converged TV and entertainment phenomenon called Telefusion.

“Social media, online TV and video services have thrown doubt on traditional TV usage. The challenge, however, is the usability and user experience: how to find the relevant content from the chaos of content sources, applications and devices,” notes Petri Kalske, CEO of Axel Technologies.

Axel Technologies is the leading mobile TV software vendor. Axel offers TV applications for mobile, handheld and portable devices. Axel's product portfolio includes one-stop solutions with multistandard middleware support for device manufacturers and semiconductor suppliers. Axel Technologies is headquartered in Finland and has sales support offices in Hong Kong, Taipei, Munich and Santa Clara, US.
