Global and leading DAB/T-DMB receives supplier Britain Frontier Silicon Company of the chip to announce a few days ago, established China MDTV business segments, in order to adapt to China's fast-developing mobile television service and hardware market. In view of many kinds of mobile phone TVs (mobile television) The intersection of standard and compatible actual conditions in China, at first popularize T-DMB of double frequency band, receive the solution in China Frontier Silicon, will put out T-DMB/DVB-H multistandard / multiband solution subsequently. Frontier Silicon has already and the Chinese mobile phone design company dragon's flag group cooperative design T-DMB cell-phone begun at present.
Though the canonial determination of TV of the hands machine of China may still take very long time, but the intersection of the Far East and Zheng, executive vice president of district, Company of Frontier Silicon, add auspicious gentleman to show, this is not a question, because DMB-T draft standard and European T-DMB standard of China are close, changing in the future and staging job and big; In addition, in order to offer mobile phone TV service in 2008 Olympic Games, begin to test correspondingly and commercial and very urgent. In fact, because T-DMB has already been large-scale and commercial in South Korea and other places, in the whole world in the lead, T-DMB goes first in China too. Department's manufacturers of broadcasting and TV such as happy dragon's digital broadcasting, Shanghai Oriental Pearl group, Guangdong mobile television media's Company and Guangdong TV station of Beijing,etc. already carry on T-DMB test, it is estimated that might have offered T-DMB commercial service later in 2006. Among them, Beijing and Shanghai adopt L-Band frequency band, Guangzhou and Beijing adopt Band-III frequency band. In addition, China may offer DVB-H service by 2008 at the end of 2007.
Frontier Silicon company commercial development controller Mr. Xian DeXian shows: "In order to meet China and global market's demands, support the multistandard / multiband to be essential; In addition it is the power consumption and the volume should be made very low, producing in enormous quantities in satisfied 2008-2009 years and application; Two most important factors that this promotes the development of mobile phone TV industry. "
In order to meet these two demands, on one hand, the products of Frontier develop towards multiband and multistandard, on the other hand, Frontier promotes the integrated level of the chip and reduces the power consumption through the advanced craft. Xian DeXian introduces, support T-DMB RF Tuner products Apollo revB of Band-III to be already used in the mobile phone of Samsung, support T-DMB RF Tuner products Apollo revD already batch productino of Band-III and L-Band at the same time, can meet China's Mainland to the demand for Band-III and L-Band. It is estimated T-DMB RF Tuner products Augustus that Frontie would put out 70mW, support Band-III and L-Band of fourth quarter of 2006. Will put out and support Band-III, L-band, Band-IV and four frequency bands of T-DMB/DVB-H RF Tuner products Titus of Band-V in the third quarter of 2007, adopt 0.18um SiGe craft.
In base band chip, Frontier would introduce three moulds of chips Paradiso which supported DVB-H/T-DMB/DAB in 2006, and put out SiP Paradiso2 which combined RF in 2007. Frontier is still carrying on research to DMB-T of China, may put out Paradiso3 which will support DVB-H/T-DMB/DAB/DMB-T in 2008. As to the newly-increased support to DVB-H in the chip, Xian Germany explains virtuously: "On one hand, this is for meeting demands of market of China's Mainland, because China's Mainland may offer DVB-H service by 2008 at the end of 2007; But on the other hand, China's Mainland is the global manufacture base, T-DMB/DAB products on a lot of European markets come from China's Mainland, it is very important to support different standards to meet the demand for exports. "
Xian DeXian has also recommended T-DMB of Frontier Silicon Company Tuner + base band chip to receive the solution and develop the street map, volume little, integrate high and higher and power consumption keyword too among them. He represents, adopts craft of 0.18 microns in first generation solution Kino1 already used in the mobile phone of Samsung, it is Tuner + group four chip solutions with +SDRAM +flash, Damien 500mW of the power consumption; Second generation it adopts 0.13 technological Kino2 to be already batch productino, Tuner + two chip solutions of base band, the power consumption is 160mW; In the fourth quarter of 2006, would put out SiP scheme of Tuner + base band, the volume was 10* 10* 1.3mm. By 2008, Frontier Silicon will put out and adopt 90 nanometers of SiP schemes Kino5, the power consumption is only 90mW, the size is 8* 8mm, integrated multimedia function.
As to the products street map of Frontier, Xian DeXian summarizes and says: "Demand on it is in multiband yesterday,it is in multistandard demand of today, miniaturization /demand of tomorrow when optimizing. And all these are that the real large market will prepare for 2008. " It is especially emphasized that Zheng adds auspiciously: "Compared with deflection hardware solution of South Korean manufacturer, the software has played a more important role in the mobile phone television reception scheme of Frontier, so the flexibility is very strong. "
Frontier Silicon headquartered in Britain was established in 2001, succeeded in designing over 100 items of digital broadcasting and mobile television, offer solution according to called over 70% the intersection of DAB and broadcast, receive the intersection of chip and, move in the forefront in T-DMB, the products take the lead in being used in Samsung B2300 and P900DMB cell-phone. By 2004, Frontier Silicon fiscal revenue reach 30 million dollars, reach 50 million dollars by 2005.
Frontier Silicon has operation centers in Chinese Shenzhen, offers technical support (35 people) for main DAB audio frequency manufacturer . New China MDTV business segments will be with headquarter in Shenzhen, and by Xian DeXian's leadership. What Xian DeXian has separated out in Motorola flies and thinks of Karl semi-conductive company and takes the post as the manager of running department of the business, responsible for the honeycomb (2G/2.5G/3G) Solution) . He has the experience for more than 15 years in the semiconductor, electron and communication trade.
Xian DeXian shows: "The demand for the mobile phone of Chinese market was not weakened, still there is very large development space. Become the consumables of the next family ' there must be ' with the mobile television, Carrier and mobile phone manufacturer need the solutions of high quality of Frontier Silicon Company and characteristic. Frontier Silicon Company invests in the research and development of the mobile television products in a more cost-effective manner. There are new business segments which are absorbed in MDTV, we can support the Off-The-Shelf customer better, and market and other main trade companies of mobile television in China expand our business. "
Zheng add auspicious to introduce Frontier Silicon and the intersection of China and main the intersection of Mobile and manufacturer discuss cooperation at present, five independent mobile phone design one of provider the intersection of dragon and the intersection of flag and group choose the intersection of Frontier Silicon and semi-conductive solution of Company use for the mobile television already before the China among them Intellectual mobile phone development.
