Konka Utilizes Telegent’s TLG1100 to Deliver Live, Familiar Television Programming to Mobile Phones
Telegent Systems, the company which makes television mobile with its high-performance single-chip mobile TV solutions, and Konka Group, a leading Chinese manufacturer of mobile phones and television sets, announced that they have teamed to deliver mobile handsets with free-to-air TV. Konka's handsets are set to ship globally during the second quarter of 2008 and will allow consumers to receive the live, familiar television programming that they normally view at home while they are on the go.
Konka's mobile TV handset feature is powered by the TLG1100, a high-performance single-chip mobile TV receiver from Telegent Systems. The TLG1100 supports NTSC, PAL and worldwide FM broadcast standards and is designed specifically for mobile environments, delivering a high quality picture that remains stable at high speeds of up to 430 km/h. The chip also achieves ultra-low power consumption, enabling multiple hours of continuous viewing time.
"We are impressed with the performance and fast time to market of the free-to-air mobile TV feature," said Hongtao Li, CEO of Konka's Mobile Phone Division. "The picture quality and long battery lifetime provide consumers with a positive viewing experience and allow us to differentiate our handsets and meet consumer demand."
"We have seen strong consumer interest in free-to-air mobile TV around the world, especially in emerging markets," said Weijie Yun, president & CEO of Telegent Systems. "We are delighted to partner with an internationally recognized handset and television brand such as Konka to bring these solutions to market."
