Live Mobile TV broadcasts for the first time at an international sporting event

The First results from the Finnish Mobile TV pilot positive

Espoo. Finland - Mobile TV broadcasts continue in August at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Helsinki, where the guests of the companies behind the Finnish Mobile TV project will be able to use mobile TV for the first time at an international sporting event. YLE (The Finnish Broadcasting Company) will be providing mobile TV users with a multi-channel package, including a domestic broadcast of the Championships, which includes both YLE TV1 and YLE TV2’s coverage of the Championships. In addition, mobile TV users will receive the compilation broadcast for international distribution and five special Championships broadcasts of individual events (running events, field events, race walking and the marathon). Each event can thus be followed without a break from start to finish.

During the World Championships in Athletics, the mobile TV users also have access to regular YLE TV1, MTV3, Nelonen, CNN, BBC World and Eurosport TV programs. The real-time TV programs will be watched on the Nokia 7710 smartphone equipped with a special accessory to receive mobile TV broadcasts.

The World Championships in Athletics offer an excellent environment to demonstrate use cases for mobile TV, and specifically how new content can be produced for mobile TV devices. For example, the users can watch the games on their way to the stadium or anytime they are away from the action.

Digita, Elisa, MTV, Nelonen, Nokia, Sonera and YLE jointly conducted the mobile TV pilot in Finland from 8.3.2005 to 20.6.2005. The pilot, which took place in the Helsinki capital region, tested the feasibility of watching television broadcasts using a mobile device. According to the initial pilot results, mobile TV services proved popular with the participants of the pilot, as 58% said that they believe that mobile TV services will be popular. Familiar TV channels were watched also on a mobile device and the test users watched between 5 to 30 minutes of mobile TV per day. Full results of the Finnish mobile TV pilot will be released 30.8.2005.

DVB-H technology allows television channels to be distributed effectively to users of mobile devices. All television channels and special event channels can be accessed by viewers as live broadcasts cost-effectively irrespective of the number of recipients. It is easy for users to view the channels. Supplementary interactive features are also easy to use on the same mobile TV device.

Deal marks Nokia’s entry into Bangladeshi infrastructure market

Espoo, Finland - GrameenPhone Ltd., Bangladesh’s leading mobile operator, has chosen Nokia to deploy its Short Message Service Center (SMSC) and Online Service Controller (OSC) rating and charging solution. The agreement marks Nokia’s entry into Bangladeshi network infrastructure market.

GrameenPhone will enhance its existing SMS service with the Nokia SMSC, resulting in a significant increase in GrameenPhone network’s SMS capacity.

Nokia’s solutions will allow us to enhance our messaging capacity and provide world-class SMS services to our fast growing base of customers, along with added functionalities and features. It will also scale to accommodate future growth in our network across Bangladesh,” said Yogesh Malik, CTO, GrameenPhone.

“Bangladesh is a strategic market for Nokia’s infrastructure business in the region. This deal marks the beginning of our cooperation with GrameenPhone, a pioneer and market leader in the Bangladeshi mobile market. The entry provides us an opportunity to demonstrate our technology and services leadership,” said Rajeev Suri, Senior Vice President, Networks, Nokia APAC.

He added, “The Bangladeshi mobile market is expected to double from the current subscriber base of six million over the next few years. Nokia is committed to working with the industry and the government to build telecom networks based on the latest technologies and provide world-class telecom services to the citizens of the country.”

Notes to the Editor:

Nokia Online Service Controller (OSC) provides online charging and service control of packet switched sessions including GPRS/3G and IMS, messaging (SMS/MMS) and content services for prepaid and postpaid subscribers. The online charging functionality of Nokia OSC allows subscribers’ credit status to be checked prior to service delivery, ensuring no credit is lost due to fraud – compared with traditional CDR (Charging Detail Record) based where charging takes place only after a service has been used. As the credit risk can be minimized, operators are able to offer the same data services that are offered to postpaid customers also to their prepaid customer base.

When OSC is integrated with an existing voice prepaid system a single prepaid account can be provided for both voice and data services, making it easy to introduce new services for existing prepaid customers.

The announcement was made by Simon Beresford-Wylie, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Networks, at Nokia’s Focus on India investor event in New Delhi.

Nokia and Kineto Announce Collaboration in UMA technology

Kineto will supply its UMA Network Controller as part of Nokia’s fixed-mobile convergence network solution.

Espoo, Finland / Milpitas, CA, USA – Nokia , the world leader in mobile communications, and Kineto Wireless, the key innovator and leading global supplier of UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) technology, today announced an agreement to address the area of convergence between fixed and mobile networks and services in selected key customer cases. In addition, the companies are currently engaged in UMA trials with major operators and will continue to collaborate on future network trials.

Under the terms of the agreement, Nokia will incorporate Kineto’s UMA Network Controller into its network convergence solutions for wireline and wireless operators. As part of the multi-access solutions, this complements other elements in Nokia’s powerful end-to-end network convergence offering, which includes the Nokia Unified Core Network for common service machinery, Operations Support Services (OSS), multimedia services, service and network integration, as well as world-class mobile devices.

UMA, a 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Program) standard, is an access technology that allows a seamless handoff of mobile voice and data from a wide area cellular network to a wireless local area network (WLAN). The UMA standard defines how mobile operators can turn home, office and public wireless LANs into seamless extensions of their cellular networks. With UMA, operators can deliver high-performance, low-cost mobile voice, data and IMS services to subscribers over the broadband Wi-Fi access networks, dramatically increasing mobile service usage while decreasing costs for operators.

“Nokia’s end-to-end convergence solutions – from network equipment to terminals to applications – aim to enhance the end-user’s mobile voice and data experiences as simply as possible,” said Pekka Viirola, director, Convergence Network Systems, Networks, Nokia. “By this cooperation, both companies can join forces to establish a winning solution to the emerging market for comprehensive solutions that yield operational cost savings to communications providers.”

“With the rapid adoption of UMA as a 3GPP standard for cellular/Wi-Fi convergence, we are seeing tremendous demand for UMA products and services from operators,” said Rick Gilbert, president and CEO of Kineto. “As a leading global supplier of mobile and convergence solutions, Nokia is an ideal partner for growing this market.”

Previously, Nokia announced that Saunalahti, a leading Finnish operator will be deploying a number of Nokia’s convergence solutions, including UMA technology from Kineto, to offer services like VoIP and rich multimedia to both mobile and fixed telephony customers.

The Nokia fixed mobile convergence vision embraces personalization and mobility – where end-users have their own services on their preferred end-user devices over any network. Nokia sees that there are two key access technologies for operators to implement this vision – UMA and Native IP Access. Nokia supports both alternatives.

About Kineto Wireless

Kineto Wireless is the key innovator and leading global supplier of UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) Technology, the 3GPP standard for cellular/Wi-Fi convergence. With a UMA-enabled network, mobile operators can provide a seamless, high-performance mobile voice, data and IMS experience on both cellular and Wi-Fi networks. As the leading provider of UMA Technology, Kineto supplies core network solutions through OEM partnerships with major network infrastructure providers. Kineto also provides UMA-compliant software, development tools and support

services to mobile silicon/stack suppliers and mobile handset developers. Kineto’s solutions conform to the UMA technology specification, now included in 3GPP Release 6 (www.3gpp.org), and endorsed by mobile operators worldwide. For more information, please visit www.kineto.com.

Notes to the editor

Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology is one of the 3GPP standards for cellular/Wi-Fi convergence. UMA technology enables access to mobile voice, data and IMS services over IP broadband access and unlicensed spectrum technologies. By deploying UMA technology, service providers can enable subscribers to roam and handover between cellular networks and public and private unlicensed wireless networks using dual-mode mobile handsets. With UMA, subscribers receive a consistent user experience for their mobile voice, data and IMS services as they transition between networks. The other technology option is called Native IP Access. Native IP Access is packet-based and refers to accessing IP multimedia services using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for the network signaling. Nokia supports both alternatives.

The UMA specifications were originally created by Nokia and Kineto Wireless, with Alcatel, AT&T Wireless, British Telecom, Cingular, Ericsson, Kineto Wireless, Motorola, , Nortel, O2, Research in Motion, Rogers Wireless, Siemens, Sony-Ericsson and T-Mobile US. The specifications are available for downloading at www.umatechnology.org. The UMA technology specification, known as TS 43.318 in the 3rd Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) standards body, was recently approved for inclusion into the upcoming 3GPP Release 6.

Nokia reaches agreement with the Turkish government in Telsim matter

Espoo, Finland - Nokia has reached a settlement in its financial claims against the Turkish network operator Telsim subject to the successful sale of Telsim’s assets. Under the terms of the arrangement with Telsim and the Turkish Savings and Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF), which currently controls and manages Telsim’s assets, Nokia will receive a settlement payment following the completion of the sale of Telsim’s assets. The settlement is subject to the formal board approval of TMSF, and the amount of the settlement will depend on the final proceeds from the future sale of Telsim’s assets.

Nokia sees this as a positive step in a consistent and cooperative approach to resolving the issue, and also trusts that it will facilitate a successful sale of Telsim’s assets. Moreover, the agreement opens the way for the continued support for Telsim’s operations that will benefit Telsim’s subscribers, the Turkish government, and the overall Turkish telecommunications market.

Nokia’s claims arose from Telsim’s default on its repayment obligations under a loan facility related to network equipment delivered in 2000. In February 2004, the Arbitral Tribunal in Zürich fully approved the claim against the Turkish company.

Nokia provides Push-to-Talk service to mobilkom austria

Espoo, Finland - Nokia and Austrian mobile operator mobilkom austria have signed an agreement for the delivery of a Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) network solution. The deal includes the provision of PoC services, with Nokia to operate the PoC platform. The service is commercially available for mobilkom austria customers in Austria.

With push to talk, people can use their mobile phones like walkie-talkies, communicating with a selected group or with individuals at the push of a button. Both business and private users can benefit from this simple, direct communication. Push to talk is especially suited for cases where users need to communicate occasionally but repeatedly with the same group or individual.

“mobilkom austria is the innovation leader in Central and Southeast Europe. We introduced push to talk as it adds value for specific customer segments. We have selected Nokia as the partner for push to talk as it offers the strongest pre-OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) solution,” said Dr. Boris Nemsic, CEO mobilkom austria and COO Wireless Telekom Austria.

“We are pleased that mobilkom austria group has selected Nokia as the provider of the push to talk service,” said Henrik Sund, VP, Managed Services, Nokia Networks. “Nokia is transforming itself into a service-driven company and this agreement with hosting and operations of the PoC platform confirms that we are a strong partner in this field.”

The deal underlines Nokia’s industry leadership in PoC for GSM, with 38 commercial network deals to date, 17 systems in commercial use, and 19 GSM PoC handsets on the market, including the world’s first. Thanks to Nokia’s capabilities and know-how, mobilkom austria can take the PoC service faster from concept to mass market and contain the costs of implementation. To ensure success, Nokia leverages all its unique experience from terminals, knowledge of consumer behavior and systems integration.

In helping operators to get more from their networks and services, Nokia can draw on its over 15-year track record of supplying and operating networks and its extensive practical experience of implementing mobile services for operators. Nokia has contracted managed services with 35 clients in 28 countries, and has provided operating services for over 20 operators globally. Furthermore, Nokia has over 70 contracts for service management, making us a leader in this growing market. Nokia NetAct(TM), the unique network and service management system, has been delivered to over 300 customers worldwide. Services currently comprise about one-third of the Networks business group’s headcount and over a quarter of its business.

About mobilkom

With nearly 3.3 million customers and a market share of 41%, mobilkom austria is Austria’s leading mobile operator. The company, headquartered in Vienna, has roughly 2,300 employees and generated revenues of EUR 1,678.7 million in the 2004 business year.

Consumers also want to watch TV programs on their mobile

Espoo, Finland - Results announced today from one of the world’s first commercial mobile TV pilots in Helsinki, Finland reveal the popularity and willingness to pay for mobile TV services, underlining the potential of this exciting new mobile application. 41% of pilot participants would be willing to purchase mobile TV services and half thought that a fixed monthly fee of 10 euros was a reasonable price to pay. Over half (58%) said that they believed broadcast mobile TV services would be popular.

Digita, Elisa, MTV, Channel Four Finland (Nelonen), Nokia, TeliaSonera Finland and YLE jointly conducted the pilot in Finland between March and June 2005 with 500 users accessing mobile TV using the Nokia 7710 smartphone and DVB-H technology.

Content is king

According to the pilot results, pilot participants not only wanted to watch familiar program offerings, but they would also welcome mobile TV content that is suitable for short and occasional viewing. Familiar programs available through national Finnish television channels proved to be the most popular followed by sports and news channels (CNN, BBC World, Euronews). The Ice Hockey World cup games, the San Marino and Monaco Formula One as well as the UEFA Champions League match between Liverpool and AC Milan were among the top 10 programs viewed during the pilot.

Viewing patterns

In general, mobile TV users spent approximately 20 minutes a day watching mobile TV, although more active users watched between 30 to 40 minutes per session. Participants also watched mobile TV at different times than traditional TV peak hours.

Mobile TV was most popular while traveling on public transport to relax or to keep up to date with the latest news although it also proved popular at home for entertainment and complementing participants’ main TV watching.

Pricing models

The potential commercial benefits of mobile TV are clearly evident from this pilot with 41% willing to pay for the service. Pilot members were charged a monthly fee of 4.90 euros although half of those that took part thought 10 euros per month was a reasonable price to pay. Overall, users preferred a fixed pricing model although many were also interested in a pay per view model – i.e. buying access for specific content such as a football match or racing competition.

The pilot results also reveal the key requirements from consumers in order to use mobile TV services:

• Easy and intuitive service usability

• Good technical functionality and reliability

• Content that is also suitable for short period viewing

• Mobile phone functions must not be compromised by the TV application

“The Helsinki pilot reinforces our belief that mobile broadcast TV is a significant opportunity,” said Richard Sharp, Vice President, Rich Media, Nokia. “The message for the industry is clear: for mobile TV services to succeed we need relevant and compelling content, easy-to-use technology and reasonable and simple pricing plans. With these elements in place, consumer demand for mobile TV will follow.”

DVB-H technology allows television channels to be distributed effectively to mobile devices. It provides the best user experience in the mobile environment with excellent, broadcast quality picture, reduced battery consumption and wide range of channels (up to 55 channel are possible).

Nokia Releases New N-Gage Arena Launcher Software For Global Mobile Gaming Community

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that it has released a new version of the N-Gage Arena launcher for the over 400,000 valued N-Gage Arena members.

It also shows friends who are in a Public Group Chat session. The launcher’s user interface and menu structure has been updated to be more in-line with the website and thus improve usability.

Content has been expanded to included user-generated content such as tips & hints and photos. Other general improvements to the launcher’s navigation, alert notification, start up experience and preferences management have also been made to make the consumer experience easier.

Astro, Maxis & Nokia Showcase Live Mobile TV Broadcasting over DVB-H Technology

“The future of TV is in our hands”

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Malaysia’s leading cross-media operator Astro, together with leading mobile operator Maxis Communications Berhad (“Maxis”) and global mobile device maker Nokia jointly showcased a live demonstration of Mobile TV Broadcasting to Malaysians on the eve of the Merdeka Day celebrations in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. The showcase used the new Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld (DVB-H) technology standard now undergoing extensive field trials in Europe, the USA and in other parts of Asia.

Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Hj Badawi and Deputy Prime Minister, YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak had the opportunity to view the live broadcasts of the celebrations on TV1 and live simulcasts of other Merdeka programmes on TV3, Astro Ria and Astro AEC whilst attending the Ambang Merdeka concert held at Dataran Merdeka last night. Also present to view it were YB Dato’ Sri Kadir Hj Sheikh Fadzir, Minister of Information and YB Dato’ Zulhasnan bin Rafique, Deputy Minister of Federal Territories.

Visitors to Dataran Merdeka were also given demonstrations of the Mobile TV Broadcasting technology on the Nokia 7710 widescreen smartphone equipped with a DVB-H receiver/streamer by the Mobile TV Broadcasting promoters at the venue.

In this initial trial service launched for the Merdeka showcase, Astro provided the broadcast transmission for the event coverage with 4 live channels: TV1, TV3, Astro Ria and AEC, while Maxis supplied telecommunication and network services. Nokia is the technology provider for this showcase and has provided the network equipment and mobile devices used in the demonstration while Rohde & Schwarz provided the transmitters.

With this showcase, Malaysia becomes one of the leading countries globally to demonstrate DVB-H. Elsewhere in the Asia Pacific, the Mobile TV Broadcasting trial based on DVB-H technology has started in Australia. DVB-H has now been adopted by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) as the Mobile Broadcasting Technology standard and many other regions of the world are expected to follow suit once their own trials are concluded.

Astro plans to move forward from the demo stage to commercial services in the near future. This will be announced once a decision is made based on trial results and in consultation with the regulator.

“Astro is proud to spearhead this technology demonstration. Mobile TV Broadcasting is a distinctive extension of our broadcast offer and with it we are able to further extend the reach of television to viewers beyond their sets in the living room”, said En. Azran Osman-Rani, Director of Business Affairs, Astro. “With the live mobile feeds, we plan to demonstrate that viewers can watch the latest in news and entertainment programming anytime, anywhere.”

“This showcase, which comes on the heels of the launch of maxis3G, further reiterates our compelling value proposition that integrates technology with exciting content. Today, while Maxis’ customers are already watching live TV on their mobile phones with 3G, we are looking at enhancing that experience and are pleased to trial this new technology that would offer a much higher quality mobile TV viewing experience,” said Maxis Head of Product Development and Management, En Karim Abdul Malik.

“The strong support of the government and industry players such as Astro and Maxis has helped make this showcase possible. This LIVE showcase, jointly with Astro and Maxis demonstrates the future of convergence between broadcast and mobile services & will help pave the way forward to show the myriad opportunities that exist for advertisers and players in the Mobile TV ecosystem in Malaysia, and what consumers can look forward to in the future’,” said Jawahar Kanjilal, Director, Rich Media & Music Programmes, Nokia Multimedia, Asia Pacific.

The Mobile TV Broadcasting demonstration used the DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld) standard, which combines traditional television broadcast technology with elements such as mobility, smaller screens, indoor coverage, optimized use of battery and in-built antennae that are specific to handheld devices such as mobile phones. To receive the live television broadcast, the Nokia 7710 smartphone is paired with a Nokia streamer, the first mobile DVB-H receiver, designed specifically for pilots and trials.

What is Mobile TV Broadcasting?

Mobile TV Broadcasting allows the user to watch their favourite TV programmes such as dramas, news, music, sports and documentaries on their mobile device. The service works by receiving a specialised digital TV broadcast signal from the air in much the same way as televisions at home will do in future. Channel guides will also be broadcast allowing users to keep abreast of the latest programmes on air. It is not the same as a streaming video service over 3G or GPRS, but one which is optimised for longer period TV viewing by large numbers of simultaneous users with high picture quality and low battery power consumption.

More information about Mobile TV can be obtained from www.nokia.com/mobiletv.
