Inmarsat and Solaris Mobile have, as widely expected, each been awarded 30MHz of Europe-wide S-Band radio spectrum. The bandwidth could allow the satellite operators to supply DVB-SH services, or satellite pay-radio, as well as improved services for ‘first response’ emergency services.
Both companies are targeting content providers who will be able to broadcast crystal clear live TV, deliver linear and on-demand content e.g. location-based services, video or radio channels to mobile phones, vehicles, iPods, portable video players, game consoles and other handsets, on land, at sea and in the air.
