Synopsis
Steve will chart the story of the unique WirefreeTM Video technology, developed for the Orange GSM 
1800 Network from its inception as a funded Research Project at the University of Strathclyde. This 
finally culminated in the Reality of the multi-functional Orange Wirefree Videophone which Orange 
masterminded by melding together state-of-the-art technologies and creative skills from various 
leading edge companies, all experts in their field. He will also describe some aspects of the video 
compression techniques and the capabilities of the HSCSD (High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data) Service 
offered in the UK uniquely by Orange, now the leading UK Operator, which is used by the Videophone. 
Finally Steve will demonstrate that it really is a Reality!
