About DVB-H

Based on DVB-T specifications, DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld) is a digital TV technology designed for handheld devices such as mobile phone and sends audio and video through broadcast.

DVB-H provides superb user experience in the mobile environment with excellent picture, reception, mobility, power consumption and seamless handover. Traffic is not an issue as the program is sent through TV network. It enables 50 mobile channels and interactive services via GSM/WCDMA networks for richer commercial contents. DVB-H is selected by EU as the mobile TV standard.

Differences between DVB-H and 3G streaming

DVB-H broadcasts audio and visual contents while 3G streaming receives the contents via the communication network. The services are complementary as they are based on different technologies and don’t interfere with each other.

DVB-H is a one-to-many technology with low power consumption and high mobility that can be received with DVB-H-enabled phones. Program contents and guides are offered by providers while consumers select the channel they want to watch. A one-to-one technology, 3G streaming emphasizes video one demand that lets consumers actively choose the programs they want. DVB-H offers smoother and clearer TV picture than 3G streaming.
