The new Alcatel-Lucent is showcasing seamless access on a single device to a selection of mobile TV channels delivered in Germany via either 3G or broadcast networks.

Alcatel's test demo will include German language channels RTL Mobile TV, the National Geographic Channel and Eurosport.

Based on the new DVB-SH mobile broadcast standard using the S-Band, the demonstration is playing to an audience of German operators and TV broadcasters at Alcatel-Lucent's Stuttgart offices using SAGEM myMobileTV handsets.

Olivier Coste, president of Alcatel-Lucent's mobile broadcast activities said "following the adoption during 3GSM of DVB-SH by the DVB Project and the EC decision on the use of a harmonized 2.2 GHz spectrum for EU-wide hybrid mobile TV services, our Stuttgart demonstration definitely positions Alcatel-Lucent's Unlimited Mobile TV solution as a serious option for all operators willing to deploy their mobile TV strategies in Europe."

In the coming week, Alcatel-Lucent will demonstrate its unique DVB-SH features allowing reception quality enhancement under difficult mobile conditions, including reception antenna diversity and improved time interleaving.
