By Telecom Lead Team: Belkin, a provider of consumer electronics
solutions, and Mobile Content Venture (MCV), a joint-venture that operates the
Dyle Mobile TV service, has partnered to offer smartphone and tablet users to
watch live broadcast programming on-the-go through MCV’s Dyle Mobile TV.
Dyle Mobile TV is the consumer-facing brand launched by
MCV
to deliver live mobile television content from 15 major broadcast groups.
This adds to significant progress we have already made
in gathering together some of the largest broadcasters in the country and
delivering the kind of live programming consumers want to mobile devices via a
robust technology platform,” said
Salil Dalvi and Erik Moreno, co-general managers of MCV.
Belkin and MCV will collaborate on
products and application designs for accessories that will help the 120 million
devices already in the market receive live TV. The new Belkin accessories allow
users with a smartphone or tablet to watch live TV programming on-the-go
through Dyle Mobile TV. At launch, Dyle will be available from more than 72
stations in 32 markets.
At Belkin, we embrace emerging technologies that make
connecting to the things you love easier and more accessible, and this
partnership with MCV underscores that commitment,” said Brian Van Harlingen,
chief technology officer of Belkin.
Belkin plans to launch a new product that will make live
television mobile in 2012.
Belkin and Evoz recently announced a joint venture
to create products that will give parents the ability to use any smartphone as
a baby monitor.
