Vuclip’s software breaks a video or audio file into chunks of about fifteen seconds and streams them over the mobile network, a chunk at a time. As it is readied to be streamed, a transcoding technology translates thechunks to match the quality level of the network, slowing down the stream formore congested networks. In the final step, a Vuclip algorithm assures that thechunks are seamlessly connected, whether the network is slow or fast.<ref name=":1" /> Vuclip has partnerships with carriers throughout India including ], ], and ].
