At the last Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, ICO
Global Communications (Holdings) Limited (ICO) and Alcatel-Lucent demonstrated
North America’s first video broadcast based on the DVB-SH (Digital Video
Broadcasting – Satellite services to Handhelds) mobile broadcasting standard.
See below the video of the demo, including an interview with David Zufall,
Senior VP, Network System, ICO.
This demonstration was a key milestone for ICO’s initiative to deploy a
fully-integrated DVB-SH hybrid satellite/terrestrial network in North America.
Alcatel-Lucent, as the end-to-end network integrator for the project, is
supplying the system architecture, design and installation for the network.
In the demonstration, ICO and Alcatel-Lucent delivered mobile
high-resolution live television programming to display terminals located in a
moving vehicle outfitted with DVB-SH receivers. These standards-based
demonstrations are the first displays of the cutting-edge solution being
developed for the ICO alpha trial of mobile interactive media (mim) services,
which will take place in 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada and Raleigh-Durham, North
Carolina.
