HDMI Dongle Offers Operators a New Means to Break Down Barriers to the Home



- IBC (Connected World Hall 14, Booth 160)



MobiTV [http://www.mobitv.com ], a global leader in enabling delivery of live and
on-demand TV Everywhere, today announced new HDMI dongle capabilities that offer operators
a cost-effective entry into the home. At IBC (Hall 14, Booth 160), the company is
showcasing its Connected Media Platform with an HDMI dongle powering an in-home and True
TV Everywhere experience.



The dongle's emergence in the ecosystem of devices creates an opportunity for
wireless, IPTV and DSL broadband operators to enter the home and broaden their branded
offering to include a True TV Everywhere solution that leverages their customer
relationships. The device offers easy installation, without truck rolls, allowing the
service to get off the ground and into homes quickly and easily. Additionally, operators
can optimize the growing use of the second screen, as the tablet or smartphone becomes the
remote control, thereby creating a better user experience in the living room.



"This device breaks down barriers to the home that used to exist, in order for
providers to extend their brands and deliver a more engaging experience to their users,"
said Charlie Nooney, CEO and Chairman of MobiTV. "MobiTV's deep expertise across
platforms, and especially with Android, allows us to be creative with our delivery by
integrating social recommendations and advertising insertion, among other cutting-edge
advances."



Like the tablet and the smartphone, the dongle has strong potential to make waves in
the industry. It provides mobile operators with a way to bring viewing into the home, and
an opportunity to leverage existing assets, including a large preexisting footprint of
mobile devices which can be used as a second screen, wide subscriber base and
multi-service product bundles. DSL broadband and IPTV providers can leverage this device
as a low cost means to support multi-room deployments. Powered by MobiTV's Connected Media
Platform, broadband operators can expand their presence to True TV Everywhere in and out
of the home thus allowing them to compete more effectively using their own infrastructure.



If you're interested in viewing the dongle and other technical enhancements to
MobiTV's cloud-based true TV everywhere solution, please visit MobiTV's IBC Booth in
Connected World Hall 14, Booth 160. Additional information is also available at
