Crown Castle Mobile Media, DiBcom, Freescale, Intel, Microtune, Nokia, O2,
S-Communications, Silicon & Software Systems Ltd (S3), Texas Instruments,
TTPCom, and UDcast Publicly Promote and Drive DVB-H to Mobile Phones
LAS VEGAS, April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- A number of players in the wireless
industry today announced support for DVB-H (digital video broadcast --
handheld), an open industry standard for the delivery of mobile broadcast
digital TV (DTV) for the U.S., European and Asian marketplaces. DVB-H is
experiencing broad support across the wireless ecosystem, including partners
and competitors alike, who are working together to foster competition and
innovation for the growing digital TV market. Such companies include wireless
operators such as O2; multicast network operators such as Crown Castle Mobile
Media (NYSE:CCI); wireless infrastructure providers such as UDcast; handset
manufacturers such as Nokia (NYSE:NOK); software stack providers such as
Silicon & Software Systems Ltd (S3); and semiconductor providers such as
DiBcom, Freescale (NYSE:FSL), Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), Microtune(R), Inc.
(Nasdaq: TUNE), S-Communications, Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE:TXN)
(TI) and TTPCom. Each company listed, plus many others worldwide, is putting
support behind DVB-H in efforts to provide an open environment for mobile
operators and broadcasters to reach the largely un-tapped but promising
digital mobile TV market.
DVB-H is an open, non-proprietary standard that will foster growth
throughout the wireless market, allowing mobile DTV handsets and services to
reach the mass market faster and at a lower cost to consumers. Additionally,
DVB-H delivers an improved end user experience over current video streaming
services that utilize cellular networks and reduce network capacity for voice
services. Broadcast digital TV for mobile phones is a large opportunity for
operators, broadcasters, handset manufacturers and silicon providers as it
opens up new opportunities and provides additional users and revenue-
generating services for digital TV services.
