Samsung have developed a low-power chip for processing terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) on mobile phones. The new chip will allow content providers to customise content such as high quality digital terrestrial television for on-demand viewing on mobiles.
The chip consumes 40% less power than their previous design attempts, making it suitable for inclusion in 3G phones.
To showcase the technology, Samsung are teaming up with SK Telecom to offer satellite-based DMB by the end of the year.
