Comtech Gains Deal to Provide Mobile TV Solution for Handsets




The Comtech Group has gained a series of contracts for providing customized module solutions for mobile handsets, the company said.

The shipment of the module solutions is likely to start in December 2007.

The solutions are aimed at enabling cell phone users to watch TV programs broadcast in China on their mobile handsets. Subscribers can receive any local and free channels broadcast in China.

The idea of having TV on mobile phones has been growing tremendously along with the screening technology which has also advanced to deliver seamless viewing experience. Promising to be more fun and entertaining, approximately 50 million mobile phones with this new feature is expected to be shipped in 2008.

The system proves to be more reliable and cost-effective alternative to existing technologies.

"Mobile TV function is set to be the next-cool-feature for mobile phones in 2008. Our solution is innovative and practical. Since it is mobile network independent, everyone can watch real time broadcast TV programs using a cell phone in China, with or without 3Gnetworks," Jeffrey Kang, Comtech president and CEO, said.

Kang also mentioned that this innovation will enable users to watch their favorite program with their cell phones whenever and wherever they want.

Comtech focuses on the digital media, mobile handset and telecom equipment end-markets for their customized design modules while also offering business and engineering services to their large telecom equipment vendor customers.
