NTT DoCoMo develops mobile handset for digital TV

October 3, 2005

NTT DoCoMo announced the development of the 3G FOMA P901iTV, DoCoMo's first mobile handset to receive terrestrial digital broadcasting signals, in addition to conventional analog signals. The handset was developed in response to the planned launch of mobile digital broadcasting in April 2006, which Japanese broadcasters formally announced today.

DoCoMo's P901iTV will allow users to enjoy services that converge mobile communications and broadcasting, such as access to TV program related websites by simply clicking the URL shown on the display during the program. The handset's main display will be a 2.5-inch, wide-view LCD screen. More than 2.5 hours of continuous viewing will be possible for digital TV programs. The TV function will be activated by twisting the screen (enabling the lower half of the phone to be used as a convenient handle), or simply pushing a button. An antenna-embedded earphone will enhance TV signal reception.

The P901iTV will be one of DoCoMo's "Osaifu-Keitai" mobile phones with wallet functions, which enable the phone to be used as electronic money, credit card, commuter pass, electronic ticket and more.

DoCoMo will exhibit the P901iTV during the CEATEC Japan 2005 trade show at the Makuhari Messe exhibition center in Chiba Prefecture from October 4 to 8.

DoCoMo, under its continuing effort to maximize the potential of mobile communications, participated in joint trials of digital mobile broadcasting services that finished in Tokyo recently. DoCoMo plans to further promote the convergence of mobile communications and broadcasting so users can enjoy unique broadcasting services through mobile communications devices.
