Standardization

Towards a Global DVB-H Standard

The main objective for standardization is to create the basis for a global, horizontally structured market, meaning a multi-vendor market for mobile TV services, devices, and network infrastructure.

Achieving interoperability between the mobile communications and digital broadcast worlds requires carefully crafted supporting regulations. In its current phase, regulation is undergoing changes to allow multimedia service provisioning through all types of delivery networks, creating an equal playing field for all actors in the new horizontal markets.

It is equally important that spectrum decisions will provide sufficient and appropriate capacities for mobile TV. In order to facilitate the development of the global market for mobile TV, a globally harmonized spectrum usage should be encouraged through broadcast spectrum management and licensing. The Nokia Mobile TV system is compliant with the DVB-H IPDC specification (DVB CBMS).
