Alcatel-Lucent Mobile TV manual 2004

Depending on your current assets (network and spectrum) and service objectives, the Alcatel-Lucent Unlimited Mobile TV solution offers different infrastructure options to deliver mainstream channels:

•High-power mobile broadcast satellites which provide direct terminal reception across rural areas countrywide

•Medium- to high-power trans- mitters for urban/suburban outdoor reception

•Low-power transmitters for cellular- like quality of service in urban indoor areas

Full flexibility between terrestrial and satellite backhauling is also provided to feed these infrastructures with the channels to be broadcast.

End-user terminals receive broadcast TV either from terrestrial repeaters or from the satellite, and unicast TV from a 3G broadband connection.

To deliver the content, the mobile TV service delivery platform adapts and aggregates TV programs and rich multimedia services into IP service

streams and selects the transmission format, either broadcast, or unicast (2G, 3G, etc.), depending on the targeted audience.

The service delivery platform lets you provide end-users with interactive and personalization features such as chat, voting, and click-to-buy. And it pro- vides seamless access to related services, as well as cross-advertising opportunities on any combined unicast and broadcast network.
