Alcatel-Lucent and SpeedCast Limited have announced this day that they plan to jointly market, deploy 
and operate a shared, hosted DVB-H platform for mobile Television operators in Asia. The objective of the collaboration is to enable delivery of video content to operators for transmission to devices supporting the DVB-H mobile TV standard. The service will enable mobile Television service providers to deliver more than 20 Television channels via satellite to their transmission towers for terrestrial broadcast (in the UHF band) to DVB-H handheld devices.
A hosted managed service grants operators to reduce the capital and operational expenditures associated with mobile TV service. It also ensures a faster time-to-market.
“This hosted mobile Television broadcast offering will help lower the danger to service providers associated with introducing a new service, while at the same time giving them the chance to provide their customers with attractively priced services and richer content offerings,” stated
Pierre-Jean Beylier, Chief Executive Officer of SpeedCast Limited.
