Under the contract, Ericsson will provide the Belgian telecoms company with the world’s fastest channel selector solution, improving the convenience of mobile TV channel surfing and bringing it closer to a home TV experience.
We are proud that Proximus has chosen Ericsson as a partner in such a strategic area. Mobile media is a growing area for both Proximus and Ericsson, commented Jean-Marc Engels, president of Ericsson Belgium and Luxembourg. With this partnership, we will assist Proximus to provide a first-class consumer experience to its customers.
Currently, Proximus offers a mobile TV service through the Vodafone Live! portal, featuring 25 live local and international channels, as well as video on demand clips.
The new mobile TV service is expected to be launched during 2007.
