Telegent Systems, a provider of mobile television solutions, announced that the main mobile operators in Latin America are accelerating the adoption of mobile transmissions through the over-the-air television tools supplied by this company.
Since December 2008, subsidiaries of América Móvil and Telefónica—which include Telcel in Mexico, Claro in Argentina, Comcel in Colombia, and Movistar in Mexico and Peru—have developed multiple models of Telegent's handheld television devices that allow consumers to receive live and at no cost. over-the-air television signals.
"We are always looking for new innovations for our customers. As sponsors of our national football team, the over-the-air TV phone we are launching will allow users to watch the team's preparation matches for South Africa 2010," said Fernando del Rio, Claro's business director.
Over-the-air TV phones provide an additional benefit for operators as operators can deliver TV signals without the need for significant investment in infrastructure and content licensing, and consumers can access TV on their mobile devices without having to pay more for the service.
