Nokia Mobile TV Solution
Nokia today announced that it will make the air interface specifications of the Nokia mobile TV solution publicly available for interested parties. Based on Digital Video Broadcast – Handheld (DVB-H), the end-to-end solution makes it easy for operators and service providers to roll out mobile TV services. The air interface specifies how mobile TV terminals interconnect with the network end of the mobile TV solution.
“Operators and service providers want to know how the interoperability of terminals from different vendors can be ensured. By making this interface specification public, we are emphasizing our commitment to open standards and interoperability as a means to enable positive market development “, says Richard Sharp, Vice President, Rich Media, Nokia.
The Nokia mobile TV solution is based on available open standards such as the DVB-H radio layer standard, which was approved in 2004 by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). Some additional application layer specifications are in the process of being finalized by standardization bodies.
“Implementing products alongside standards development helps the industry to get early feedback from consumers and service providers. This means robust, tested standards and that interoperable products will be available when the market demands”, continues Richard Sharp.
