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.
