"Mobile TV on handsets is gaining momentum
in the wireless industry, even as network
operators continue to evaluate the various
standards available. Our UBM solution addresses
the industry's need by providing a single
universal chip that supports three of the
world's leading standards, enabling mobile
handsets to receive real-time content regardless
of the broadcast technology selected by
operators," said Qualcomm CDMA Technologies
vice president of strategic products Mike
Concannon.
The UBM solution includes support for FLO,
which is part of the MediaFLO system, DVB-H,
and one-segment implementations of ISDB-T
to address the needs of network operators
in Europe, Asia, North America and elsewhere
for the deployment of mobile broadcast services.
The UBM solution offers a high level of
integration to deliver a single-chip FLO
solution for the North American market that
also includes specific enhancements necessary
for deployment outside of North America.
The UBM is designed as a companion to Qualcomm's
Mobile Station Modem (MSM) baseband chipsets,
but also can be used with other products.
The UBM leverages the processing power of
the Enhanced Multimedia and Convergence
Platforms, eliminating the need for additional
dedicated application processors for more
power-efficient devices with smaller form-factors.
Specific performance features of the UBM
solution include:
- Support for the entire UHF bandwidth
-- 470 to 862 MHz;
- Tunable modes 5, 6, 7 and 8 MHz channel
bandwidths;
- Support for single- and multi-frequency
networks.
Designed to be compatible with both CDMA2000
and WCDMA/UMTS devices, the UBM solution
is expected to sample in the first quarter
of 2007.
