Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks Power Swisscom's Mobile TV Service
Posted on: Tuesday, 20 May 2008, 09:00 CDT
Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks have powered the launch of Swisscom's mobile television service, Bluewin TV mobile, in Switzerland.
The service is made available through a network based on the digital video broadcast for handheld (DVB-H) standard and can be watched on DVB-H-enabled mobile devices.
For this project, Swisscom's wholly owned subsidiary, Swisscom Broadcast, chose Nokia's mobile broadcast solution, while Nokia Siemens Networks integrated the mobile television platform with Swisscom's systems and provided a range of services, including project management, network and architecture planning, security and implementation.
Olivier Anthamatten, head of strategic projects at Swisscom Broadcast, said: "With the time constraints of the project, it was essential for Swisscom Broadcast to rely on one partner offering a solution based on open standards which can guarantee the end-to-end interoperability of the whole solution, from the DVB-H back-end system to the mobile devices."
