New from DiBcom are the Mobitive DIB3000-M integrated circuit for in-car digital TV reception and the MOD-3000 module that enables consumers to receive digital TV channels on their laptops.

Both products have been successfully tested in Asia (Singapore, Taiwan), Europe (France, Germany) and the UK, and the Mobitive DIB3000-M is available now.

The MOD-3000 is commercially available in the UK as an OEM module for PC peripheral and PC manufacturers.

DiBcom's goal is the universal provision of access to digital TV and broadband Internet in mobile (car, train, bus), portable (laptop, PDA, mobile phone, plug-free set top box) and fixed (TV, set top box) wireless environments.

DiBcom is in talks with several UK-based service providers about the market opportunity as well as major automotive manufacturers.

Yannick Levy, Chief Executive Officer of DiBcom comments: "DiBcom focuses on developing innovative silicon solutions for DVB-T and other standards, with the vision that COFDM modulation will offer very high bitrate to subscribers in any place at any time - since it is the most suitable modulation technique for wireless broadband communication.

New datarates in the order of 10 to 50Mbit/s represent the natural evolution of Internet and digital television and our new technologies go a step forward to enable consumers to watch TV or surf the Internet in fixed as well as mobile situations".

"The emergence of mobile wireless broadband transmission offers great potential for the transmission of large amounts of data to the end consumer.

Still ahead of us is radio and television over mobile devices, mobile access to TV and Internet in cars and trains - and DiBcom will implement new efficient transmission techniques to effectively enable this", Levy concludes.
