German wireless operator T-Mobil said Tuesday that it has successfully conducted trials of streaming video and audio over its General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) wireless system.

The operator said it conducted the trials in conjunction with Philips, which provided the server and client playback technology. The company's used MPEG-4 streaming technology, which is designed for mobile systems.

As GPRS systems are being rolled out worldwide, operators and other infrastructure vendors are trying to find applications for the greater bandwidth that are appealing to both business and consumers.

Although there still is relatively little MPEG-4 content available, Philips offers its player free at its Web site.
