The main strategic objective of C-CAST is to evolve mobile multicasting to exploit the increasing integration of mobile devices with our everyday physical world and environment. Thus, C-CAST will provide an end-to-end context-aware communication framework specifically for intelligent multicast-broadcast services to deliver context-aware multimedia content to a set of users efficiently.

With carriers rolling out 3G networks and the mobile devices being capable of access various wireless technologies (WLAN, UMTS, DVB, etc.) available bandwidth and throughput is increasing. This has led future applications such as unicast (multicast, broadcast) audio or video streaming to become practical on mobile devices.
