SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Red Herring Magazine announced that Thin Multimedia, Inc. (TMI) has been officially selected as a winner of the prestigious Red Herring 100 Asia 2007 awards. The news was announced at a gala dinner during the Red Herring 100 Asia event in Hong Kong, China, from August 29 to August 31.
Winners were selected from a pool of more than 500 applicants based in 16 countries/regions including China, India, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Australia and Vietnam.
The Red Herring editorial team carefully selected the winning companies based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their ecosystem.
After a rigorous evaluation process, we are very happy with the winners we selected, said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring. There was a large pool to choose from and we are impressed by the caliber and innovative talent bursting from Asia's business and technology sector.
TMI was founded in 2001 in Silicon Valley, California and one of its first technological innovations, a low compression algorithm codec, enabled mobile TV services to play on low-end handsets when it was believed impossible to do so. TMI then developed a suite of standard codecs as well as a multimedia player, content encoding platform and content management and delivery platform to give cellular operators a complete end-to-end solution. The solution was first commercialized by SK Telecom, South Korea's number one mobile operator who subsequently named TMI its number one ASP provider six years running. Today TMI technologies are operating in eight wireless operators around the world. TMI continues to develop and deliver state-of-the-art mobile multimedia and broadcasting technologies, providing solutions to mobile operators, content providers, handset manufacturers and semiconductor manufacturers around the globe.
We are honored to be part of such an illustrious group of innovators and market movers, said David Kim, executive vice president of TMI. TMI was founded on the vision of multimedia content playing on every mobile phone and today the vision is near reality. We are very pleased to have our efforts recognized by Red Herring in this way.
