At CTIA Wireless, Silicon & Software Systems (S3) demonstrated interoperability between its Mobile DTV software stack, onHandTV, and the live Modeo DVB-H broadcast.

“We are delighted to see S3's fully interoperable onHandTV stack demonstrating live reception of Modeo's broadcast on several leading mobile platforms,” said Michael Schueppert, president of Modeo LLC. “We believe that S3 is a key part of our ecosystem and helps to demonstrate our commitment to an open-standards-based broadcast network. This approach is expected to enable rapid deployment of our TV, radio and podcasting services later this year.”

Speaking at CTIA Wireless, John Maguire, general manager, Mobile DTV Products Group, S3 said, “We believe that Modeo is one of the key operators in the emerging mobile broadcast market. Its current strategy to target handheld devices and mobile phones is well positioned to capitalize on increasing consumer interest in TV and IP datacasting services in both the mobile and automotive consumer space.

“We are excited to support Modeo's Air Interface Profile Specification with a Modeo-specific Operator Adaptation Package (OAP). This complements our existing onHandTV core features and gives us further opportunity to explore interesting interactive use-cases in a commercial network.”
