Freescale Mobile TV Tuner Surpasses One Million Units Shipped

  
    
  
  
    
      After delivering the world’s first direct 
      conversion tuner to the market, Freescale Semiconductor 
      (NYSE:FSL) (NYSE:FSL.B) announces that it has shipped more than one 
      million units of its digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H) tuner.
    
    
      The Freescale tuners are part of a front-end reference design providing 
      DVB-H connectivity in a wide variety of consumer products. The DVB-H 
      tuner uses 270 mW during bursts, representing half the power of 
      traditional tuners with a much smaller bill of materials. Additionally, 
      Freescale’s DVB-H tuner has enhanced 
      sensitivity allowing consumers to receive quality service even in fringe 
      areas of coverage, a critical requirement for DVB-H applications.
    
    
      “By the end of the decade, mobile TV 
      capability will become prevalent in many devices such as cellular 
      handsets, PMPs, PDAs, notebook PCs and other consumer devices,” 
      said Kent Heath, director of Freescale’s Radio 
      Products Division. “Having actively 
      participated in the development of the Mobile Broadband Radio Air 
      Interface (MBRAI) specification, Freescale is shipping DVB-H tuners that 
      enable leading OEMs to make mobile DTV a reality.”
    
    
      Developed for cell phones, PMPs and handheld TV applications, the DVB-H 
      standard builds on existing DVB-T infrastructure to reach wide coverage 
      with limited incremental investments. This allows cellular handsets to 
      receive Internet Protocol data from the network while a cellular uplink 
      is used as a return channel for data and interactive applications. DVB-H 
      is a perfect complement to 2G and 3G cellular networks, providing the 
      high bandwidth necessary to implement broadcast solutions.
