Companies to Engage in DVB-H Enabled Handset and Network Compatibility
Testing to Accelerate Time to Market for Broadcast Mobile TV Services

IBC, AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands, September 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- In an effort to encourage greater adoption of broadcast mobile TV
services and accelerate service deployment, Motorola and Nokia today
announced that they will work to achieve interoperability among their
DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast - Handheld) enabled mobile devices and
network services. The handset manufacturers will work together to
support solutions based on open DVB-IPDC standards available for
operator partners interested in deploying multi-vendor mobile TV
services and trials in 2006 and onward.

According to Informa, the mobile TV market is poised to grow
exponentially - by 2010, there are anticipated to be over 50 million
DVB-H enabled mobile devices sold globally. The deployment of mobile
TV services will offer new business opportunities for companies across
the value chain - including content and broadcast companies, mobile
service providers, infrastructure and handset manufacturers and
technology providers - and the availability of interoperable DVB-H
enabled devices and services is a key factor in further opening up the
market.

Among the many digital technologies available to deliver mobile TV
services, Motorola and Nokia both view DVB-H as an effective
technology for deploying broadcast mobile TV. DVB-H technology offers
high service level quality, low battery consumption and offers the
end-user the ability to simultaneously receive broadcasts while using
other mobile services such as telephony and internet access on their
device.

"Operators around the world are evaluating broadcast mobile TV as a
compelling new service to offer their subscribers - and
interoperability will play a key role in bringing these services to
market faster," said Rob Bero, Director of Broadcast Technologies,
Motorola. "As a vocal leader in open standards, including DVB-H, we're
pleased to be working with Nokia to deliver interoperable handset and
network solutions that will help enable operators to offer the
ultimate mobile TV experience for consumers."

"Commercial mobile TV services are on the verge of launching in
several markets across the world. In order for mobile TV to be a true
success, we need interoperable mobile devices and systems which
deliver the best experience for consumers and enable enjoyable, live
broadcast TV when and where it suits them, redefining prime times and
television program content. Nokia is happy to see that open DVB-H
technology has and will have widespread support across the industry
players, including Motorola and Nokia, in bringing mobile TV to
market," says Harri Mannisto, Director, Multimedia Experiences, Nokia.

In parallel to supporting mobile operators launching mobile TV
services based on existing technologies in their networks, Motorola
and Nokia are both active in ongoing standardization and technology
development to optimize the broadcast mobile TV experience. The
companies will work on interoperability efforts using the open
DVB-IPDC standard while continuing to participate in industry-wide
interoperability efforts within the related standardization bodies.

Notes to the Editors

DVB-H technology enables the TV service you are familiar with at home
to be broadcast to your mobile device. DVB-H provides a superior
end-user experience in the mobile environment with excellent picture
and reduced battery consumption. Up to 50 TV channels can be delivered
with low cost, over one network. With extensive pilots of broadcast
mobile TV currently taking place across the globe, involving leading
broadcasters, mobile operators, broadcast network operators and
handset manufacturers, the market for commercial broadcast services is
expected to grow throughout 2006.
