DMB

DMB stands for Digital Multimedia Broadcast and it’s a transmission system for sending data, radio and TV to mobile devices. DMB can operate via satellite (S-DMB) as well as terrestrial (T-DMB) transmission. The spec is yet another competitor to DVB-H and MediaFLO, but it is more like the former than the latter. T-DMB uses the MPEG-4 format for video. Germany will launch a T-DMB trial for the World Cup in 2006 and the U.K., Switzerland and Italy are all looking to do so this year as well. Paris already has a trial underway as does South Korea, which is testing both S-DMB and T-DMB.
