Segment

    SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- 

    Telegent Systems, the company that makes television
mobile with its high-performance single-chip mobile TV
solutions, announced that it has won GSMA's Asia Mobile
Innovation Award in the category of "Most Innovative
Wireless Device-centric Technology."  Telegent was
among a group of finalists presenting in an open session at
the Mobile Innovation Summit held this week in Macau to an
international panel of judges consisting of senior
executives from several leading mobile operators.  Telegent
was announced the category winner last night at the event's
Gala Party.

    "By delivering single-chip mobile TV receivers
supporting free-to-air and paid mobile TV standards,
Telegent has created a new market segment around
free-to-air mobile TV that is accelerating consumer
adoption," said Weijie Yun, president & CEO of
Telegent Systems.  "We are delighted that the mobile
industry has recognized the market impact of our technology
and its value to consumers, operators and handset
OEMs."  

    Telegent has experienced rapid adoption of its
technology, with more than 40 handset models currently
available throughout Asia, Europe, the Middle East and
Africa.  For consumers, free-to-air mobile TV provides
mobile access to the television content that they already
know and enjoy on their television sets at home.  For
operators, free-to-air mobile TV can be readily integrated
into existing mobile TV strategies with zero investment,
while delivering access to television content that is
already available.  For handset OEMs, Telegent's solution
is easy to design in, manufacture and leverages an existing
ecosystem of spectrum, standards, infrastructure and
content.  

    The Asia Mobile Innovation Awards were created by the
GSMA, the global trade association of mobile operators, as
part of its Mobile Innovation Programme to help companies
with breakthrough technology to reach mobile operators and
bring their innovative products and services to end-users.
