Qualcomm is using transmitters from Harris Corp. in mobile TV trials in Taiwan. Harris’ Atlas mobile transmitter is being used in the trials that are being conducted by China Networks Systems and Taiwan Television Enterprise.

Qualcomm created its MediaFLO ecosystem to deliver content to mobile handsets. Harris has worked with the MediaFLO technologies team to develop a version of its Apex digital television exciter for FLO air-interface requirements.

The trials, featuring two live channels provided by TTV and four from TTV and CNS, were designed to study and evaluate the performance of MediaFLO technology and to explore opportunities to deliver multimedia services to mobile devices in Taiwan. The trials started in spring and are slated to run through the summer.
