Harris Corp and LG Electronics Inc said on April 3 that they have teamed up to develop a wireless technology to broadcast local digital television programming to mobile devices such as cell phones, car media players or handheld televisions or DVD players.
The technology will compete with existing systems that beam television to mobile phones and follows a display by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd of a competing portable broadcast system at the US consumer electronics show in January.
US cell phone providers already offer video clips or in some cases full-length shows on handsets, but LG said its technology would be the first to enable TV stations to broadcast local programming to portable devices using the same airwaves they use to broadcast to regular living room TVs.
