By Bob Emmerson, TMC European Editor
Nokia Siemens (News - Alert) Networks’ mobile television solution is enabling the delivery of high-quality radio and television channels in: Hamburg, Hanover, Frankfurt and Munich.
There are nine TV channels and three radio stations. This is a test service that will help Mobile 3.0 gather information on actual demand, expected consumption patterns, coverage and reception conditions. This will be used to fine-tune the broadcasts and identify commercial services to be launched in the future.

During the test, Nokia Siemens Networks (News - Alert) is hosting, operating and integrating its mobile TV solution, which is based on the Digital Video Broadcasting for Handheld (DVB-H) standard. The platform processes the content and provides the data stream to the broadcast network operator. Nokia is supplying end-user terminals.
“Mobile TV in DVB-H standard is becoming a reality in Germany,” said Dr. Rudi Gröger, President of Mobile 3.0. “With the Nokia Siemens Networks’ complete solution and their services we have been able to launch this service in a very short time.”
