Axel Technologies, and Onda Communications have launched a new multistandard mobile TV solution for laptops and netbooks. It combines broadcast TV and 3G data card to a single dongle, meaning mobile TV functionality is now easy to add to any new device and expand beyond mobile phones.
Axel Technologies has worked with Onda Communication to expand the applicability of the fast growing non-cellular product segment for mobile TV. Mobile TV is now commercially available on laptops and netbooks as part of the mobile broadband package that integrates a HSDPA modem with a DVB-T receiver provided for example by TIM in Italy.
“We see mobile TV as a natural extension to mobile broadband services and with Axel ‘s technology we can now easily add it to netbooks and laptops. All you need is one of our dongles, Chiavetta TV – DT515HS, and a laptop,” explained Michelangelo Agrusti, CEO of Onda Communication. “With the new solution, operators can expand mobile TV to mass markets and offer additional value for the mobile broadband users.”
There has been a preponderance of devices that mix different features on USB drives – and mobile broadband/TV looks to be the latest combination. However, Axel’s multistandard solution should mean that it’s applicable in more places than your average Mobile TV offering.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
