Nokia Trials Mobile TV in Sweden Using DVB-H Technology With Teracom and Partners

ESPOO, Finland, June 28/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today Nokia announced a new commercial DVB-H pilot in Stockholm with
Teracom in Sweden. Nokia is supplying the Nokia Mobile Broadcast System 3.0
and Nokia N92 mobile TV devices to the pilot which will last from October to
December 2006 and includes 400 consumers. The project is a co-operation
between ATG, Boxer, Nokia, Sveriges Radio, Sveriges Television/UR, Telenor
and Teracom.

The pilot participants will be able to watch fourteen TV channels and
listen to four radio channels in the Stockholm city region, where a network
has been built for high quality indoor and outdoor coverage. The objective is
to evaluate what Swedish consumers think about commercial broadcast mobile
TV.

ATG, Boxer, Sveriges Radio and Sveriges Television will provide content
for the pilot. The test will be delivered using Nokia Mobile Broadcast
Solution 3.0, and the pilot participants will use mobile devices from Nokia,
the Nokia N92. Teracom will be responsible for the network, the broadcast and
operating of the platform.

"We strongly believe in the capability of the DVB-H technology as well as
in the mobile TV service, and we are looking forward to presenting the full
potential and interest of broadcast mobile TV in Sweden," says Sigurd Leth,
Multimedia Director for Nokia Nordic.

This is the second mobile TV pilot in Sweden where Nokia is one of the
main suppliers of DVB-H technology. Last week, Nokia announced a new contract
with TeliaSonera Sweden for a complete DVB-H pilot system, including Nokia
Mobile Broadcast System 3.0 and Nokia N92 mobile TV devices, underpinned by
Nokia's hosting and systems integration know-how.

DVB-H technology complements existing operator networks, optimizing
capacity and quality. It offers consumers the chance to enjoy high quality
terrestrial digital broadcasts along with voice telephony and internet access
all in a single device. Broadcast mobile TV will offer new business
opportunities for mobile service providers, content and broadcast companies,
infrastructure and handset manufacturers as well as technology providers.

The feedback from different mobile TV pilots has been promising. Results
from pilots on broadcast (DVB-H) mobile TV services amongst consumers in
Finland, the UK, Spain and France have revealed clear consumer demand for
such services as well as important indications over future business models
for commercial mobile TV services.

Notes to the editors:

DVB-H technology enables the TV service you are familiar with at home to
be broadcast to your mobile device. DVB-H provides the best user experience
in the mobile environment with excellent picture and reduced battery
consumption. Up to 50 TV channels can be delivered with low cost, over one
network. With extensive pilots of broadcast mobile TV currently taking place
across the globe, involving leading broadcasters, mobile operators, broadcast
network operators and handset manufacturers, the market for commercial
broadcast services is expected to spread during 2006.
