DiBcom and SkyCross Collaborate to Offer Integrated Solutions for Mobile Television.VIERA, Fla. -- 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. that designs high-performance chipsets, and SkyCross, a global wireless company providing antenna-centric RF solutions, announced a collaboration today to provide complete, integrated mobile TV solutions that are compliant with the current worldwide Digital Video Broadcast standards, DVB-T See DVB. and DVB-H See mobile TV and DVB. . This solution provides device manufacturers with an alternative to the current designs that must employ an external antenna, as well as a way to optimize reception quality based on the expertise and system design knowledge of both companies. The collaboration brings together two of the best innovators in the mobile TV market. DiBcom is a leading enabler of low-power mobile TV reception at vehicular speeds exceeding 130 mph. SkyCross is the number one supplier of mobile TV antennas in Korea and has recently announced the expansion of its mobile video product family to include embedded antennas for terrestrial mobile video networks as low as 180 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. . While some products that combine technologies from both DiBcom and SkyCross already exist on the market, such as the SGH-P930 handset for DVB-H from Samsung, the two companies plan to offer unparalleled expertise for mobile TV integration and system optimization. This versatile mobile TV solution can be applied to a wide range of consumer electronics that require advanced integration, such as mobile handsets, portable multimedia players (PMPs), portable TV decoders (set-top boxes, integrated LCD TV A flat panel TV that uses LCD technology or a rear-projection TV that is based on LCD microdisplay panels. See flat panel TV, rear-projection TV and LCD. ), PC cards, notebook computers, and ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), which are small tablet PCs for data on the go. The bundled solution from DiBcom and SkyCross not only fits within the allotted al·lot tr.v. al·lot·ted, al·lot·ting, al·lots 1.
