DVB-T2 Enabled TV Shipments Forecast to Reach 64.7M in 2015
|
|
The market research firm DisplaySearch, which focuses on the display supply chain, reports that while developed markets have not only introduced digital terrestrial and largely completed analog switch-off, a second generation of digital broadcast (DVB-T2) is now being adopted in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
It has forecasted the prospects for DVB-T2 reception in TV. It finds that a critical mass of countries have now adopted or committed to DVB-T2. Shipments of DVB-T2-enabled sets are expected to grow from 3.4 million in 2011 to 64.7 million in 2015.
"By 2015 the number of DVB-T and DVB-T2 sets shipped will be equal," said Paul Gray, Director of TV Electronics Research, DisplaySearch. "The decision by the Russian and Indian governments to move to T2 has given the industry a huge boost in confidence, and it will kick-start a virtuous cycle of rapid adoption and cost reduction".
The report finds the new digital transmission technology is not only being introduced in mature markets like the UK and Sweden, but also in Nigeria and Kenya.

 The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12) opened in Geneva on 23 January to review and revise the Radio Regulations, the international treaty governing the use of radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits.
The work of this international treaty-making conference will be conducted over four weeks until 17 February to address the changes required to the regulation of orbit/spectrum resources in the interest of the users of these scarce resources, with global implications for policymakers, regulators, the industry as well as end-users.
Over 3000 participants, representing more than 150 out of the ITU's 193 Member States are expected to attend the four week conference, making it one of the most significant ITU events. About 100 observers from among ITU's 700 private sector members along with international organizations will also attend the 2012 WRC-12.
"The World Radiocommunication Conference will review and modify global spectrum regulations to ensure that this most precious resource is used effectively to benefit all players," ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré said. "The aim is to ensure reliable radio services are available everywhere and at any time enabling people to live and travel safely while enjoying high performance radiocommunications."
