Leading China domestic handset provider Gionee introduces free-to-air TV phones based on Telegent's TLG1100
Shanghai (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Telegent Systems, the company that makes television mobile with its high-performance single-chip mobile TV solutions, and Shenzhen Gionee Communication Equipment Co., Ltd., a leading provider of mobile phone solutions to China's domestic market, today announced availability of a free-to-air TV handset from Gionee that leverages Telegent's mobile TV technology. Gionee's TV phone allows consumers to receive the same live, familiar television programming that is broadcast over free-to-air channels while they are on the go.
"Mobile TV is a very attractive feature to consumers that is a key influencer in purchasing decisions," said Wang Lei, assistant general manager of Gionee. "We believe that the free-to-air mobile TV feature, enabled by Telegent's technology, will be a significant factor in driving handset sales in 2008."
Gionee's free-to-air mobile TV phone, the Gionee A10, features a 3.0 QVGA touchscreen and is immediately available through Acorn International's TV shopping network, also online at http://www.chinadrtv.com. Gionee also plans to launch several more models of free-to-air TV phones this year, including models with large screen sizes and a model targeting women users.
"The analog TV feature will be the major selling point for mobile phones in China this year," said Kirby Deng, deputy general manager of SINO Market Research. "We estimate that analog TV phones will account for around 15 per cent of handset sales in China in 2008."
The Gionee A10's mobile TV feature is powered by the TLG1100, a high-performance single-chip mobile TV receiver from Telegent Systems. The TLG1100 supports NTSC, PAL and worldwide FM broadcast standards and is designed specifically for mobile environments, delivering a high quality picture that remains stable at high speeds of up to 430 km/h. The chip also achieves ultra-low power consumption, enabling multiple hours of continuous viewing time.
"We are pleased to partner with a leading brand such as Gionee," said Weijie Yun, president and CEO of Telegent Systems. "There is significant demand for the free-to-air mobile TV feature in China. Gionee's brand recognition combined with its ongoing investment in mass advertising channels will help further accelerate market adoption."
