Apollo is ideally suited to the demands of the emerging mobile TV market in Germany.
Germany has allocated spectrum in the L-Band (1452 to 1492MHz) for this service.
Apollo is the only silicon tuner on the market that allows reception of T-DMB at both VHF and L Band frequencies while retaining low powered operation making it ideally suited for low-power handheld devices such as mobile phones.
Apollo also enables digital radio DAB reception at both VHF and L-Band, so consumers can also enjoy high quality audio services on their T-DMB devices.
In conjunction with German network operator T-Systems, Apollo has already undergone extensive field testing in Germany within a Samsung T-DMB broadcast phone.
T-Systems will display a range of mobile TV devices at CeBIT.
With silicon already deployed in a range of T-DMB products available in stores today, Frontier Silicon is one of the largest volume shippers of mobile TV chips giving customers the confidence to develop class leading devices now.
As the momentum for mobile TV increases, there is an explosion in trials and launches from South Korea to China, India to Europe using both T-DMB and DVB H as the broadcast standard.
Having established itself as a major force in mobile TV already shipping hundreds of thousands of T-DMB chipsets, Frontier Silicon will release samples of its multi-standard solution, featuring T-DMB and DVB-H on a single chip in Q3.
