Swisscom Broadcast launches mobile TV trial with three providers
Swisscom's broadcasting subsidiary Swisscom Broadcast is conducting a trial of mobile TV technology in Berne from 1 November 2006 until the end of January 2007. About 200 people will participate in the trial.
The broadcaster is working with mobile operators Swisscom Mobile, Sunrise and Orange on the pilot, in which the participants will use a Nokia N92 handset to receive up to 17 TV channels and between three to four radio channels, depending on the operator. The trial will test whether DVB-H (digital video broadcasting – handheld) technology adequately meets the public’s needs with regard to mobile radio and television.
DVB-H is a digital transmission standard that is based on radio broadcasting technology and allows TV signals to be received on mobile phones. A system will be used for the Berne test which relies both on radio and mobile communications technology: the TV channels are broadcast via a DVB-H radio network, while the mobile communications network works in tandem as a feedback channel for the exchange of access data or for interactive services.
