TTP’s DBTV software includes both DAB digital TV and DAB radio reception, supporting the main open broadcast standards for delivering TV to mobile devices – using IP multicast.

Martin Orrell, general manager of Digital Broadcast mobile TV at TTP said: “Having witnessed the successful deployment of our technology in the UK by Virgin Mobile and the Lobster 700 handset, KONKA recognised that our DBTV technology would enable it to quickly develop high performance mobile TV handsets at low risk and low cost.”

Li Hongtao, general manager of Konka Telecommunications added: "With TTP's help we are quickly bringing proven digital TV and radio services to mobile devices and developing industry standard handsets which will be an important catalyst for mobile TV growth.”

The Konka Group's major product lines are TVs and mobile phones. The company has five major manufacturing plants in China, and has established production bases in India, Indonesia, Mexico and recently in Turkey.

The company said the most recent agreement was a significant step towards it becoming a global handset supplier.
