Mobile TV

DVB-H technology has adopted the Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial (DVB-T) system for digital terrestrial television to the specific requirements of handheld, battery-powered receivers. This standard was first introduced for trials and service launches mainly in Europe, but trials are now underway also in other part of the world including the US, Japan, Korea and China.

Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is a digital radio transmission system for sending multimedia (radio, TV, and datacasting) to mobile devices such as mobile phones. It can operate via satellite (S-DMB) or terrestrial (T-DMB) transmission. DMB is based on the Eureka 147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) standard. This standard was first adopted in South Korea, but there are also DMB trials and implementations in Europe and North America.

There are a number of other formats, which offer slightly different forms of transmission, including the US wireless technology company Qualcomm's Forward Link Only (FLO) for wireless multimedia multicasts. FLO is designed for cellular network operators, with no TV or radio broadcasters involved.
