Royal Media Services Limited is the largest media house in Eastern Africa. They have fourteen radio stations under their wing and Kenya’s most popular TV channel, Citizen TV, belongs to the same family. The company was founded in 1999 and is based in Nairobi, Kenya.
Royal Media Services Limited needed a mobile application based on Android, iOS and Windows platforms to exclusively stream live radio programmes and make their services accessible to anyone with a smartphone.
Royal Media Services Limited is the largest media house in Kenya. So, the requirement demanded that the solution should suit the size of their audience and the brand name that they have.
RMS has fourteen radio channels under their wing along with Kenya’s most popular TV channel, Citizen. To enable their services to be accessible at any time by anyone with a mobile phone, the solution we develop had to be robust enough to take care of the demand. The architecture had to be reliable enough to handle requests at a large scale without any interruptions, real-time.
We didn’t want to make the solution look similar to traditional radio devices. While traditional radio offers only one-way communication, we wanted the solution to be interactive, user-friendly and bundled with more features than traditional radios.
