Microtune President and CEO James A Fontaine has revealed the company's product strategy to meet the needs of worldwide mobile/portable TV manufacturers for future RF electronics.

In Europe last week for the kick-off of commercial mobile TV services and for the introduction of handsets using its tuner, Microtune President and CEO James A Fontaine revealed the company's product strategy to meet the needs of worldwide mobile/portable TV manufacturers for future radio frequency (RF) electronics "Leveraging our patented MicroTuner architecture, coupled with our market leadership in silicon TV tuner-chips and digital TV expertise, our product plan is to develop new multistandard polyband universal TV tuners that can help drive the development of the global market for mobile and portable TV", said Fontaine

"We expect the commercial rollouts for the 2006 FIFA World Cup to serve as an excellent proving ground for mobile TV services".

"They will rigorously test the entire broadcasting system, while spurring interest, demand and deployments".

"We are proud that our DVB-H tuner technology is deployed in the LG Electronics' LG-U900 handsets that will be used in the Italian Hutchison (3) launch".
