Telecom Italia Partners on Intel ViiV Apps

Telecom Italia and US chip maker Intel have signed an agreement for the joint development of applications and services for home entertainment, healthcare and development of new technologies.

With Telecom Italia broadband services and PCs equipped with Intel's Viiv technology, it will be possible to share pictures, videos, music and videogames among different devices simultaneously. For example, users will be able to share digital content among their mobile phones, PCs and TVs.

Telecom Italia and Intel will also be developing ad hoc wireless telemedicine applications to monitor elderly people and patients alongside technology-led solutions to enhance wireless communication and data exchange among hospital wards.
