Mobile TV Network

DELIVERING THE NEW MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCE

Mobile TV demonstrates to be one of the fastest growing new applications for mobile network operators. However, the delivery of the world's number one mass entertainment medium to mobile devices poses numerous problems. Mobile networks, both traditional as GPRS and 3G, as well as newly developed such as 3.5G or WiMax have been built for one-to-one services and as such are incapable to scale to enable the delivery of content to a mass audience. For Mobile TV to be a reality, operators must turn towards proven broadcast networks which have been specifically designed to deliver mass content.

BROADBAND & MOBILE NETWORK CONVERGENCE

The use of broadcast infrastructure to complement mobile networks will enable a new range of revenue generating services for mobile operators including TV. Furthermore the use of these existing broadcast networks ensures that investment remains limited and roll out is accelerated.

UDcast is heavily involved in this market, notably through close partnerships with the key telecommunication and broadcasting industry players, IPDC/BMCO forum, DVB Forum, WiMAX forum and ETSI, looking at the utilisation of broadcast networks for the delivery of content to mobile handheld devices. To address a number of issues related to the use of broadcast networks, such as handheld power consumption, mobile and indoor reception, the DVB-H standard has been developed and is now helping to drive IPTV to the mobile developments.
