Atelier makes TV-on-mobile for
Symbian smartphones a reality
Hardware, Software and Integration
Services reduce time-to-market of
Digital TV handsets
PARIS, OCTOBER 9, 2006
Atelier has integrated the latest
Digital Video Broadcast – Handheld (DVB-H)
chip from NXP Semiconductors into a
working prototype featuring live Mobile
Digital TV reception in a Symbian OS™
environment.
“Working with Atelier, we have proven
that our second generation BGT215 front
end receiver is Symbian OS compatible,”
said Rutton Ruttonsha, Senior Vice President
and General Manager, Business Line
Personal Entertainment, NXP
Semiconductors. “By using hardware that
is pre-validated to work with Symbian
OS, OEMs and ODMs can reduce the time
needed to ensure compatibility between
components and software and enjoy a
faster time-to-market for Symbian-based
TV-on-mobile handsets”.
“Mobile phone manufacturers can take
advantage from the low-power, reduced
footprint BGT215 DVB-H chip combined
with the software adaptation layer and
integration expertise of Atelier for the
creation of Mobile TV enabled handsets”,
said Marc Menschenfreund, CEO of
Atelier. “Our collaboration with NXP
enables customers to focus on the unique
features of their mobile phones and not
on the overly complex effort required
for Digital TV integration into a mobile
phone design”.
“We’re seeing a growing public interest
in the dramatic potential of TV on
mobile phones”, said David Wood,
Executive Vice President Research,
Symbian. “However, there's still a great
deal of complexity to create such
digital TV capable handsets. The
integrated solution from technology
leaders NXP Semiconductors and Atelier,
running on Symbian OS, provides phone
manufacturers with a significant step
forwards to this important goal”.
The Atelier / NXP Semiconductors DVB-H
mobile Digital TV reference
implementation for Symbian OS will be
demonstrated at the Symbian Smartphone
Show, taking place at ExCeL, London,
17-18th October 2006 on the Atelier
stand number 47.
