LONDON - RadioScape has won contracts to supply five more Digital
Multimedia Broadcast (DMB) and Enhanced Packet Mode (EPM) transmission
systems for mobile TV operators in China, bringing the total to nine in
the past few months.
The company says the contracts are the fruits of at least two years of
courting Chinese authorities about its DAB-based mobile TV technology
and helping them evaluate the most appropriate technologies for the
service, and choosing between DMB, DVB-H and DMB-T.
RadioScape (London, England) says there is a massive potential for
mobile TV in China, and the success of DMB-based services in Korea bodes
well. The latest multiplexer contracts are for operators scheduling to
offer services in major conurbations including Beijing and Shanghai.
The company offers both radio transmission and mobile TV reception
technology and expertise, and is involved in the recently announced BT
Movio trial for mobile TV in the UK, that uses digital audio
broadcasting technology.
RadioScape's broadcast system is used to multiplex the multimedia
streams using Enhanced Packet Mode to ensure the robust delivery of
content to mobile phones.
"We are the leading provider of DMB broadcasting systems in China," said
John Hall, RadioScape's CEO. "We have been working closely with the
major Chinese broadcasters over the past two years and, having won
contracts with leading broadcasters in the major cities such as Beijing
and Shanghai, we are confident that other broadcasters will follow their
lead and specify our solution."
RadioScape now has systems that are broadcasting or shortly coming on
stream at Beijing Jolon Digital Media Broadcasting, Shanghai Oriental
Pearl (Group), Guangdong Yue Guang Digital Multimedia Broadcasting and
others soon to be announced.
The company has supplied over twenty DAB/DMB Research and Test systems
to Korea, which are being used by leading companies and research
institutes to allow them to develop and plan the roll out of DMB
networks and receivers.
"Korea is leading the world in Mobile TV," added Hall. "They have
recognised that DMB provides a means of delivering Mobile TV now as it
is based on proven working technology and spectrum is already available
in most countries unlike rival technologies."
He adds that because of this lead, Korean manufacturers have a ready and
growing home market for their DMB handsets that are available in volume
and at competitive prices for other countries as they deploy DMB-based
Mobile TV. Hall suggests half a million handsets have already been
ordered to support the rollout of DMB in China.
