The company is based in Milpitas, Silicon Valley and uses the technology they crafted to allow users to search for and watch web videos on any video-enabled [[mobile device]].<ref name=":0">http://www.vuclip.com/About.html</ref><ref name=":1">http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/04/vuclip-how-to-make-a-dumb-phone-seem-smarter.html</ref> According to data from Opera, it is one of the top 30 mobile sites globally<ref>http://www.opera.com/smw/2010/11/</ref> and one of the top ten mobile sites in India.<ref>http://telecomyatra.afaqs.com/news/?sid=2636_Top+mobile+sites+in+India</ref>The technology they crafted allows Vuclip to deliver crisp, non-jerky video or audio over congested mobile networks and onto dumb-phone screens, assuring that the video on these screens is roughly comparable to those on a smart phone. 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 [[Bharti Airtel]], [[Tata DoCoMo]], and [[Vodafone]].
