Mobile TV is the next big wave in the user-centric communications experience. Alcatel’s solution, based on a hybrid satellite/terrestrial architecture, addresses wide-scale coverage needs by supporting a unicast and broadcast technologies mix.
Alcatel's end-to-end solution includes:
- A satellite solution developed by Alcatel Alenia Space; this solution leverages its expertise in hybrid solution (XM radio and Sirius)
- A range of low power transmitters/repeaters for indoor coverage
- Complementary WiMAX coverage for enhanced local or regional services
- A service platform derived from existing unicast systems currently used by many operators worldwide
- Partnerships with leading terminal and chipset vendors to offer terminals that support DVB-H in S-band in addition to DVB-H in UHF
