As part of Alcatel's Unlimited Mobile TV solution, Alcatel and Samsung Electronics have signed an agreement to develop mobile handsets compatible with the evolution of the DVB-H standard in the S-Band.
Under the agreement, Alcatel and Samsung will collaborate on interoperability testing to deliver a seamless end-to-end solution to operators and high quality mobile TV services to end-users.
Both companies will support the standardization process of this solution in the DVB Forum undertaken in the DVB-SSP (Satellite Services for Portable devices) Ad-Hoc Group, and join forces to market their combined solution.
The agreement initially covers Europe, where the S-band spectrum is available today.
