Direct broadcast satellite service provider DISH Network announced it will launch a DVB-SH mobile broadcast trial in the U.S., with vendor giant Alcatel Lucent providing the appropriate equipment, test tools and training.

DISH Network will conduct the mobile TV trial between May and August in its Atlanta laboratories, stating its ultimate objective is to validate the performance and cost-efficiency of the DVB-SH standard, which can be used in any frequency spectrum below 3GHz, including UHF, L band and S band, as well as in terrestrial, satellite and hybrid networks.

"DVB-SH is today the most powerful mobile broadcast open standard leveraging the DVB-H ecosystem and enabling an efficient delivery of TV services to all mobile devices ranging from handsets to personal multimedia players and in-car units," said AlcaLu's chairman of mobile broadcast activities Olivier Coste in a prepared statement.
