Motorola, Nokia Allies On Mobile TV Interoperability

(Business News & Technology News, 25 Sep 2006)

Handset manufacturers Motorola and Nokia will work together to achieve interoperability among their DVB-H (digital video broadcast – handheld) enabled mobile devices and network services.

The companies hope that by working together, they might encourage greater adoption of broadcast mobile TV service and accelerate deployment.

While there are several digital technologies capable of delivering mobile TV services, Motorola and Nokia are hoping DVB-H is the one that catches on. DVB-H technology allows the end-user to simultaneously receive broadcasts while using other mobile services such as telephony and internet access on their device.

Motorola and Nokia will work together to support solutions based on open DVB-IPDC standards available for operator partners interested in deploying multi-vendor mobile TV services and trials in 2006 and onward.
