Alcatel-Lucent Demos Unified Access to 3G and Broadcast Mobile TV

Alcatel-Lucent is demonstrating, it says - for the first time in Germany, seamless access on a single device to a selection of Mobile TV channels delivered via either 3G or broadcast networks.

This demonstration, which is taking place in Alcatel-Lucent?s premises in Stuttgart in front of representatives from German operators and TV broadcasters, is based on the new DVB-SH mobile broadcast standard using the S-Band.

Using Alcatel-Lucent's Mobile interactive TV solution, users are also able to interact with the content of all the 3G and broadcast Mobile TV channels available on the terminal. This achievement is opening the way to the provisioning of new services offered as a complement to Mobile TV such as voting, content downloading or mobile commerce.

These features also enable the delivery of personalized advertisements to mobile TV viewers.

For the first time in Germany, Alcatel-Lucent is also demonstrating plain broadcast Mobile TV in the S-Band using SAGEM myMobileTV handsets."
