Alcatel-Lucent and Samsung Demo Mobile TV in S-Band

Alcatel-Lucent and Samsung Electronics are demonstrating live broadcast mobile TV in S-Band using a Samsung SGH-P930 handset.



Users are able to interact with the content of all the 3G/unicast and broadcast mobile TV channels available on the handset. This enables the provisioning of new interactive services offered as a complement to linear mobile TV, such as voting, content downloading or mobile commerce for 3G and broadcast channels.



The demonstration is enabled by the Streamezzo Rich Media engine, ported on the Samsung specific Operating Systems interfaced with Samsung DVB-SH stacks, and integrated with the Alcatel-Lucent's Service Delivery Platform.



The specifications of the DVB-SH standard were approved by the DVB Project on February 14, 2007. The commercial availability of Samsung's DVB-SH models is expected in Q1 2008.



Alcatel-Lucent's Unlimited Mobile TV solution is an end-to-end solution encompassing network infrastructure for DVB-H and DVB-SH (including terrestrial transmitters, antenna systems, satellite and backhauling), network head-end, application platform, unicast/broadcast integration, and professional services like deployment, operation and maintenance.

Alcatel-Lucent helps mobile TV services providers design, develop, deploy and operate effective mobile TV solutions, optimized specifically for their environment in terms of technologies and spectrums.
