DiBcom is at the heart of mobile TV. As a French fabless semiconductor company that designs high-performance chipsets, DiBcom enables low-power mobile and portable TV reception everywhere and at speeds exceeding 100 mph. The company’s solutions are used in automotive, PC/peripheral and handheld device applications.

The company has extensive experience in solving real-world mobile Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) reception problems and has overcome the main technological barriers to high-quality service. DiBcom has developed patented algorithms and architecture for fast and accurate channel estimation and high Doppler compensation. Its chipsets are compliant with the current worldwide standards Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial (DVB-T) and Digital Video Broadcasting to Handhelds (DVB-H).

In July 2005, DiBcom successfully concluded a fourth round of fund raising of €24.5million with five new international strategic investors: 3i, Partech International, WI Harper, Intel Capital and UMC.

“DiBcom is now positioned across all the major mobile TV market segments, from the automotive sector where we are working with a number of well-known car makers, through to global mobile telephone and PC manufacturers,” says Yannick Levy, CEO. “We provide high quality entertainment with continuous quality of service on the move, with consumers hard pressed to tell the difference between their handset and their TV at home. After several generations of chipsets, we have reached the optimal performance, cost and power consumption on the market, which clearly positions us as the world leader for this new high growth market.”

DiBcom’s new highly integrated solutions offer DTT channels to PCs with crystal clear video quality. The company’s latest solutions also offer the best DVB-H reception with ‘Proven Performance’, enabling both mobile phones and PDAs to be used as digital TV receivers.
