Alcatel-Lucent DVB-SH
Posted by Charbax on September 6th, 2007
Frank-Thomas Buechler, Pre-Sales Consultant for Alcatel-Lucent is talking about their suggestion for a digital TV system for mobile devices. It works by a combination of using the existing 3G antennas by simply adding a DVB-SH box to these, as well as combining that with a DVB-SH satellite that covers a whole continent. This would provide countinent-wide up to 96 TV channels be it with a direct line of sight to the satellite or when in densely populated areas with roofs and tall buidlings, then in the proximity of a 3G cell tower. The TV channels are to be broadcast at around 256kbit/s, which is suitable for use on mobile devices such as Archos and mobile phones. DVB-SH will launch in the beginning of 2008 using the terrestrial 3G antennas in Europe, followed by the planned launch of the satellite covering the whole of Europe by the end of 2008. USA will also be getting DVB-SH soon. How this will supplement DVB-H, DVB-T and if it will need to compete or supplement UHF-based data networks such as WiMax, 3G and HSDPA, this is to be seen how this folds out within the next couple of years.

[...] Archos is one of the hardware partners to Alcatel-Lucent in developping those PMPs that will be able to receive that DVB-SH signal. You can see my interview with an Alcatel-Lucent representative about the DVB-SH technology at: http://techvideoblog.com/ifa/alcatel-lucent-dvb-sh/ [...]

[...] The DVB-SH standard mixes HSDPA-like cell phone towers that transmit the DVB-H mobile TV signal in densely populated areas, while EUTELSAT and SES Astra are launching a new satellite that will cover most of Europe with a mobile TV signal in less populated areas.
