RTÉ, BT and RadioScape team up for live mobile TV

RTÉ, BT and RadioScape have teamed up to bring live digital TV signals to mobile phone users, with a technical trial of DAB-IP in the Greater Dublin and North-East areas. They are testing a limited service with two live TV channels (RTÉ One and RTÉ Two) and two live radio channels (RTÉ Radio 1 and RTÉ 2fm) on air via DAB-IP. The trial uses BT Movio, a BT service soon to be available in the UK, to bring live digital TV, DAB digital radio and TV & radio listings to mobile handsets.

In January 2006, RTÉ began technical trials of DAB digital radio. DAB-IP is a development of this platform that allows delivery of TV as well as radio. As a ‘one-to-many’ broadcast system, DAB-IP is proven as a very efficient means of broadcasting live TV and digital radio content to mobile users. It eliminates the network congestion issues associated with some existing mobile TV services and allows an unlimited number of users at any one time to access live digital TV and digital radio via mobile devices.
