Moroccan invention to use video-telephony through GSM

Majid El Bouazzaoui, a young Moroccan engineer, patented his new invention that consists in the use of video-telephony techniques through the classical networks.

Video-telephony is an audiovisual real-time communication service, which allows symmetrical and bi-directional transmission of voice and dynamic color images via communications networks between two or more communication points.

The genius of the invention lies in the use of GSM networks (Global System for Mobile Communications) rather than the current costly network, know as UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), which requires the use of 3G mobile phones, still expensive in the Moroccan market.

Today, to access the service, a phone operator needs to buy the extremely high-priced network operating licence, and to invest huge monies in infrastructures able to bear large frequencies reaching up to 2 GHZ, against 960 MGH needed for ordinary networks.

Having deposited his invention patent at the Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property (French acronym OMPIC), El Bouazzaoui will exhibit his breakthrough device in the Geneva Inventions Fair, due on April 6-10.

The young engineer has made three inventions in IT and communications fields.
