DVB-SH Mobile Trials to Begin in Italy

PARIS/ROME, December 14: Alcatel-Lucent, 3 Italia and RAI are teaming for the world’s first trials of the DVB-SH standard, which is hoping to deliver more efficient spectrum usage and better reception than previously allowed by mobile-TV platforms.

DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcasting-Satellite services to Handhelds) is an evolution of DVB-H and promises higher spectrum efficiency and allows integration with hybrid satellite/terrestrial networks. The trial will take place in Torino and it will be overseen by RAI Technological Strategies Dept., Raiway SpA and RAI Research and Technology Innovation Centre.

The first phase, from now until March, will look to validate the capability of DVB-SH to make available a large number of high-quality mobile TV channels. In the second phase, the commercial viability will be tested, with a sample panel of customers being provided with commercial DVB-SH handsets.
