SingTel launches mio TV on Mobile service with Nokia Siemens Networks solution

Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel) launches its Mobile TV service using Nokia Siemens Networks’ Mobile TV streaming solution. This complements its mio TV service and adds another dimension to accessing quality pay TV content anytime, anywhere.

Nokia Siemens Networks’ Mobile TV streaming deployment, including a mobile client application, is one of its first in Asia Pacific. SingTel will be the first mobile operator to launch this service in Singapore. A particular highlight of the new service is the excellent user experience it offers by providing live TV channels with electronic program guide (EPG) information and video-on-demand (VoD)

SingTel has chosen Nokia Siemens Networks’ Media Delivery Solution (MDS) 3.5 as its Mobile TV platform. The phone application is based on Adobe’s Flash Lite technology.

Nokia Siemens Networks’ Mobile TV solution can be extended to support various standards including video streaming (unicast), and future technologies.

The contract also includes a range of services which has allowed SingTel to rapidly start its new Mobile TV offering and guarantee ongoing platform stability and quality.
