DiBcom Raises the Bar Once Again with the Introduction of Two Novel Components for Mobile TV.The Size and Cost Optimal DIB (1) (Directory Information Base) Also called "white pages," a database of names in an X.500 system. (2) (Device Independent B 908x-H and the Multi-Standard DIB1908x-H Are Pin-Compatible for No Compromise Design Choices PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. -- DiBcom, a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. and undisputed world leader for Mobile TV solutions, announced today two new additions to its line-up of DVB-H See mobile TV and DVB. and DVB-T See DVB. solutions. The DIB908x-H was designed to offer the most cost-effective DVB-H only solution to mobile phone manufacturers that want to increase their volumes by leveraging the momentum of DVB-H: the widely adopted Mobile TV standard in most regions of the world. At the same time, DiBcom's DIB1908x-H, a multi-standard (DVB-T, DVB-H, DAB and T-DMB T-DMB Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting ), multi-band (VHF (Very High Frequency) The range of electromagnetic frequencies from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. , UHF (Ultra High Frequency) The range of electromagnetic frequencies from 300 MHz to 3 GHz. In the U.S., analog television has used UHF channels 52 to 69 in the 700 MHz band. and L-Band), and pin-compatible component will offer manufacturers the possibility of reusing the same phone base design to produce multi-standard mobile TV phones for countries that support other standards in addition to DVB-H. The DIB908x-H is a highly integrated DVB-H only component based on DiBcomos "proven performance" and fully compliant receiver technology which has become the de-facto market reference for performance and robustness, thus reducing significantly infrastructure costs for carriers while improving user experience and adoption of Mobile TV. The DIB908x-H integrates a demodulator See demodulate. Demodulator A device used to recover the original modulating signal from a modulated wave. A demodulator is also known as a detector. , a second generation multi-band RF tuner, an LNA and all filters in half the size of its predecessor. "By 2011, we expect to see DVB-H operating in over 50 countries. DVB-H will be the technology of choice among more than 50 percent of all mobile TV subscribers globally. By 2011, we see around 228 million mobile TV enabled handsets in the field, that makes DVB-H at least a 115 million device opportunity, over 5 years," said Peter White, principal analyst at Faultline Service at Rethink Research. The DIB1908x-H is a multi-mode, multi-band receiver capable of demodulating DVB-T, DVB-H, T-DMB, DAB, DAB-IP and Enhanced-mode-DAB signals in VHF, UHF and L-band frequency bands. It is pin-to-pin compatible with the DIB908x-H thus offering the capability for our customers to replace DVB-H-only terminals with multi-standard ones or vice-versa. "We have yet again extended DiBcom's portfolio of high-performance and versatile solutions to respond to the evolution of the Mobile TV market and continue to offer the most optimal solutions to our customers," said Yannick Levy, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , DiBcom. "The two components use a single set of software drivers and platform to enable either the most cost-effective DVB-H handsets or multi-mode flexible devices for markets such as in South Korea, Germany or the UK." The DIB908x-H samples are available now, while samples of the DIB1908x-H will be available in Q2 2007. DiBcom is a leader in the design and manufacture of superior mobile TV solutions for mobile phones and other handheld devices. In addition to being used as the reference technology in all field trials, DiBcom is the only vendor used in commercial deployments of DVB-H around the globe. For more information on DiBcom's products and solutions, please visit us at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona from February 12th to 15th at booth # F48 in Hall 2. About DiBcom: DiBcom is at the heart of mobile TV. As a fabless semiconductor company that designs high performance chipsets, DiBcom enables low-power mobile and portable TV reception everywhere and at speeds exceeding 130 mph. The company's solutions are used in automotive, PC/peripheral and handheld device applications. DiBcom has extensive experience solving real world mobile digital terrestrial television Digital Terrestrial Television (DTTV or DTT) is an implementation of digital technology to provide a greater number of channels and/or better quality of picture and sound using aerial broadcasts to a conventional antenna (or aerial) instead of a satellite dish or (DTT) reception problems and has overcome the main technological barriers to high-quality service. The company has developed patented algorithms and architecture for fast and accurate channel estimation and high Doppler compensation. Its chipsets are compliant with the current worldwide Digital Video Broadcast standards DVB-T and DVB-H. For more information, please visit http://www.dibcom.com |
