Mobile World Congress kicks off at Barcelona on February 11 and DiBcom is all set to showcase the world's first DVB-SH receiver. DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcasting from Satellite to Handhelds) was designed to complement DVB-H in higher frequency bands, such as S-band. It brings users to the hybrid satellite/terrestrial Mobile TV solutions for nationwide coverage on mobile phones, portable and vehicular devices. DVB-SH was approved as an open standard by the DVB Forum in February 2007. The DIB29098 is the first component to feature Diversity-2 (support for dual antennas) in one single chip. In addition, DiBcom's DIB29098 is a quadri-band, multi-mode receiver: it has dual RF tuners supporting VHF, UHF, L-Band and S-Band frequencies, a dual demodulator that processes DVB-T, DVB-H and DVB-SH signals, and a powerful turbo-decoder with its associated memory for DVB-SH FEC (Forward Error Correction).
