10 Alcatel-Lucent Unlimited Mobile TV Solution
Alcatel-Lucent Enables Mobile TV Launches Worldwide
Alcatel-Lucent is a trusted mobile TV solution provider for operators around
the world.
SES AND EUTELSAT, EUROPE
SES Global and Eutelsat Communications have joined forces to establish the
first European satellite infrastructure for broadcasting video, radio and data to
mobile devices and vehicle receivers.
Under the joint venture, SES and Eutelsat have agreed to create a company,
which will operate and commercialize the S-band payload on the W2A satellite.
The S-band space segment represents an investment of approximately €130
million. It will allow the delivery, for the first time, of mobile multimedia broad -
cast services directly to user terminals in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain
or the UK. The satellite is supported by a hybrid infrastructure that combines
satellite and terrestrial networks and delivers universal coverage and indoor
penetration for mobile TV services.
“SFR has always stood at
the forefront of inno vation in
order to provide all its clients
with the most attractive mobile
services. This is why we wished
to evaluate the hybrid technol -
ogy pro posed by Alcatel-Lucent
based on the new DVB-SH
standard specified by the DVB
Project, in just the same way
as we had tested the DVB-H
stan dard last year. These
technologies, which are
recommended at national
and European levels, seem to
us interesting to evaluate, con -
sidering the growing success
encoun tered by mobile TV
among our customers.”
