RealNetworks, Inc. develops end-to-end solutions that allow everyone — from individuals to Fortune 500 companies with locations worldwide— to create, send and receive multimedia services over the Internet. The company pioneered the entire Internet media industry and provides a universal platform for the delivery of digital media over an Internet-enabled device anywhere in the world.

Since the Internet was built to handle text-based information only, RealNetworks, Inc. foresaw the need for specific solutions. These solutions would handle the creation, delivery and consumption of rich media such as audio and video via the Internet. This led the company to invent and release the RealPlayer and RealAudio in 1995 which have been downloaded extensively throughout the world:

• RealPlayer – Downloads Web video instantly with just one click, play all major audio and video formats, builds video library and playlists

• Real Player Plus – All the basic features of RealPlayer, plus it allows for transferring Web videos to an IPOD*, ripping, mixing and burning CDs and MP3s fast, and much more.

RealNetworks offers customers many fun products on a subscription basis:

• RealNetworks Arcade

  • Offers customers a fun, unique and compelling way to discover, acquire and play PC games.

• RealNetworks Broadband Essentials – Gives customers parental controls, PC tune up, and repair utilities in one security, subscription bundle.

• RealNetworks Rhapsody

  • Premium music service that gives unlimited access to thousands of albums from the PC.

• RealNetworks Superpass

  • Free, premium audio and video content directories of compelling programming across the categories of news, sports, entertainment and music.

Bridgevine and RealNetworks have had a successful partnership since 2007, assuring customers top products and outstanding customer service. RealNetworks allowed Bridgevine to fully integrate delivery customer data to the company via an API (Application Programming Interface) during 1Q 2008, a milestone few companies have accomplished with RealNetworks.

Bridgevine’s unique online, one-stop shopping solution offers a wide variety of consumer products and services allowing you, our valued customer, to choose these individually or create personalized bundles to save you time and money. Unlike other “comparison” shopping sites, Bridgevine’s powerful technology offers a unified shopping cart, real-time pricing, order status, scheduling, and special offers to deliver the best customer experience in the industry.
