It is not about how much content you have… It is all about how and what you do with the content
you deliver. Content needs to be customised to suit the needs of the OEM’s and distributors as well
as their customers in different regions and markets. This is what miRoamer does.
miRoamer’s API
miRoamer’s flexible API has seen the
technology be integrated into a host of
internet enabled products such as
• Car radios
• Mobile phones
• Commercial spaces such as coffee
shops, restaurant and hotel rooms
• Portable media players
• Home audio equipment
• Games consoles
• Televisions and set top tv boxes
• Chip sets
• Navigation devices
• Home audio products; and now
• Car radios
• The future will see miRoamer in
cruise ships and aircraft.
4. miRoamer is Internet Car Radio
Access Anywhere
What is happening to global media?
Content is going mobile.
The growth of wireless digital services such as
WiFi, WiMAX, Edge, and 3 & 4G has made
delivery of digital content effectively universal.
Traditional media delivery (including the Internet
as we know it) is undergoing revolutionary
change – change as great as the advent of the
world wide web itself.
Now, no matter where you are or what you are
doing, miRoamer provides safe and secure access
to over 35,000 streaming radio stations.
World leader
miRoamer and Internet Car Radio
miRoamer and its partners have been testing
Internet Car Radio in Europe since mid 2008 with
significant technical success.
So much so, that miRoamer’s partners will be
rolling out miRoamer enabled vehicles as early as
2010/11.
Our extensive experience in this specialised
field means that miRoamer has become the
world leader in Internet Car Radio technology
– understanding the technical, content and
marketing demands of radio manufacturers and
car makers alike.
miRoamer believes (and it is an opinion shared
by our partners) that internet radio, over time, will
become a standard in-car radio feature.
Furthermore, the opportunity exists to couple the
radio with satellite navigation devices to provide
a single internet enabled media and navigation
console in every car.
World’s first Internet Car Radio
In the opinion of the German industry association
BITKOM, an important IT trend for 2009 is the
increasing mobility of applications.
Blaupunkt’s developers recognized this trend early
on and together with miRoamer, they are bringing the
whole world of music the car – having presented the
world’s first Internet Car Radios at CeBIT in 2009.
These “world-firsts” were awarded the “Editor’s Choice
Award” by the American technology magazine, Popular
Mechanics, at CES in Las Vegas as one of the best new
products.
The miRoamer API enables a clear navigation menu,
making selecting Web radio stations intuitive (without
having to go to the trouble of entering URLs).
The mi-Roamer Web portal furthermore allows users to
pre-configure additional settings such as music genre
and favourite stations.

6. miRoamer’s iPhone™
roadmap
The smartphone phenomenon
Apples iPhone™ – and in particular the app
store – has led a revolution in the way we access
media. Mobile now truly means mobile, and other
smartphone manufacturers have moved to launch
similar, competitive products and services.
miRoamer’s interface and content structure places
it in an ideal position to take advantage of this
exciting and developing media platform.
As a business to business provider, we are
developing our iPhone application to a point
where we can add it into the suite of products we
offer to our partners and business customers.
In doing so, we have established a development
roadmap with three increasing levels of
sophistication.
All developments are native to the latest iPhone
operating system, 3GS.
Version 1
Version 1.0 has been released internally as a
demonstration of concept – to gather OEM and
other partner feedback regarding the product.
The objective is that the user is able to:
• successfully find and play their stations easily
and intuitively.
• store stations for future quick access.
• search for a station by name and display basic
station information.
Version 2
Version 2.0 of the miRoamer iPhone aims to serve
the content in a smart, customized and easy way
to the end user.
The user is armed with more powerful search tools
and the content will carry much richer information.
An EPG will be introduced to give the users more
options to get their desired content faster and
more easily.
This version will be running on the enhanced
miRoamer back end system, providing not only
comprehensive media content information but also
superior search capability.
Furthermore it provides content filtering
capabilities for different device types.
The objective of version 2.0 is to provide quality,
local and customized content with significantly
smarter access to content.
Version 3
Version 3.0 aims to allow users to share, manage
and purchase content that has been supplied to
them in version 2.0.
The app will further enhance the content search
capability and provide smarter browsing and
content refining tools
It will also allow for sharing of content via social
networking sites.
How our iPhone app will work
for you
miRoamer will be providing iPhone application
technology to all its partners.
There are a number of ways that you might take
advantage of this capability.
1. Extend your brand
As an OEM or distributor, you will gain a captive
audience as long as your listener is engaged with
your device.
By extending your service through an iPhone
App, you can extend your relationship with that
consumer to wherever they may be.
Since our iPhone app takes advantage of the
same miRoamer engine, your customers’ user
profiles will be instantaneously available to them
once they log on and the customised content they
have created on your other devices will also be
mirrored on the iPhone.
2. Build it into your iPhone app
Chances are, you either have considered building
or are currently building an iPhone app to support
your brand positioning or your sales/marketing
strategy in some way.
As a miRoamer customer, we would be pleased
to assist you to add additional functionality to
your app through the implementation of our
technology.
3. Enable your existing devices
A cost effective and rapid way of entering the
internet radio market is to use the iPhone as an
enabler of your existing devices – devices that
may not have their own monitors or are not even
internet enabled.
By connecting the iPhone to these products,
miRoamer’s iPhone application will allow you
to instantly transform these devices to internet
enabled products with a fully featured interface.
The modifications required to enable iPhone
connectivity are relatively modest. The resulting
savings in time and resource and will help
springboard your participation into the global
internet radio market.
4. Dream it… we may be able to do it
A feature of the iPhone app store is the ingenuity
of the myriad of app developers. If you have a
plan that will be empowered by using our iPhone
engine, please speak to us – we may well be able
to assist.
5. Other smartphones
Our roadmap goes on beyond the iPhone.
Future developments include the extension of our
capability to other smartphones.
