Broadcast Mobile Convergence Forum (bmcoforum)’s members held a
test camp from June 4-8, 2007 in Berlin targeting interoperable end-to-
end solutions based on an initial implementation profile for mobile TV
based on specifications of the Open Mobile Alliance.
Berlin, June 11th, 2007 One of the main objectives of bmcoforum is the promotion and development of open markets for mobile broadcast services worldwide.
To meet this objective bmcoforum is defining commercially focussed
implementation profiles of specifications developed by organisations such as
DVB and OMA to be used in interoperability tests, pilots and early market
launches. Results related to IPDC over DVB-H already have been demonstrated
at IBC 2006 in Amsterdam and 3GSM 2007 in Barcelona.
The test camp held in Berlin was the first one focussing on the bmcoforum
implementation profile of the OMA BCAST 1.0 enabler specification. The test
camp itself comprised some ten server and twelve client implementations and
various test equipment from over twenty one companies. Essential functions
like the Electronic Service Guide as well as first implementations of the DRM
and Smartcard profiles for Service and Content Protection have been tested.
The tests conducted at the test camp have demonstrated a high level of
interoperability.
The testing companies include CoreMedia, Discretix, Expway, Irdeto, LG
Electronics, Envivio, Netzwert, Nextreaming, Nokia, Nokia Siemens Networks,
NXP Semiconductors, Panasonic, Rohde und Schwarz, RRD, Silicon & Software
Systems (S3), SafeNet, Samsung, Sidsa, Tata Elxsi, Thomson, T-Systems
Media & Broadcast, UDcast, WRG. In addition, a great number of bmcoforum
members participated in the test camp actively as supporters and observers.
bmcoforum plans to finalise its first version of the implementation profiles of
the OMA BCAST 1.0 enabler specification in the second half of 2007, thereby
enabling equipment vendors the ability to provide and provision for commercial
solutions commencing 2008.
