Siano's Multi-Standard Receiver Chipset Solves Incompatibility Dilemma that has Slowed Mobile TV Uptake.Siano demonstrations at CES 2007 feature multi-mode Mobile TV on a range of devices, including notebook computers NETANYA, Israel -- Siano Mobile Silicon, a fabless semiconductor maker of solutions for Mobile Digital TV (MDTV MDTV Mountaineer Doctor Television ), announced today that it will highlight the world's only multi-band, multi-standard receiver chipset for mobile digital TV (MDTV) at CES 2007, taking place in Las Vegas. The SMS1000 chipset, the industry's first low-cost, ultra-low-power, quad-band multi-standard receiver, represents an evolution in Mobile TV towards a multi-mode solution, unlocking the problem of incompatibility and fragmentation that has previously slowed the uptake of Mobile TV. A combination of RF tuner and 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. , the SMS1000 constitutes a complete solution for integrating digital TV functions into handheld and portable devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, lap-top computers and portable media players. "According to Teleanalytics, in 2007 we will see both multimode silicon and multimode handsets becoming the dominant market trends as vendors and operators get ready high volume sales," said Alon Ironi, 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. , Siano Mobile Silicon. "Siano's SMS1000 is leading this trend with the first and only receiver chipset solution that addresses the fragmented and diversified Mobile TV market, while maintaining small size, low cost, low power, high mobility performance and a high level of integration." The highlight of Siano's product demonstrations at CES 2007 is the SuwonExpress, a joint solution from Siano, CyberLink Corp, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics (SEM) of an ExpressCard to bring MDTV to notebook computers. The SuwonExpress is based on Siano's MDTV receiver chipset, the SMS1000, and ejectable antenna technology from SEM. It supports four spectrum bands that are commonly used for mobile TV, and five modes (or standards) of mobile TV: DAB, DAB-IP, T-DMB T-DMB Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting , DVB-T See DVB. , and DVB-H See mobile TV and DVB. . The SuwonExpress also accelerates the process of bringing MDTV to notebooks by eliminating external connections for the end user and enabling reception globally. Siano will demonstrate its technology in a number of mobile phones and other devices such as lap-top computers, smart phones, and a WiFi-based VOIP (Voice Over IP) A digital telephone service that uses the public Internet as well as private backbones instead of the traditional telephone network. Many companies, including Vonage, 8x8 and AT&T (CallVantage), typically offer calling within the country for a (Voice-Over-IP) phone embedded with Siano's SMS1000 chipset. Demonstrations will include Siano's technology in commercial products with Asian customers such as TechFaith and Gigabyte. |
