Barcelona -- February 13, 2006 -- Iwedia Technologies, the international provider of software solutions embedded in connected audiovisual digital devices and Silembia, the one-stop-shop provider of channel decoding IP blocks for digital TV reception unveil a DVB-H client-side solution, hardware and software, for chipsets and mobile phones manufacturers.

On booth G108-G109 - Hall 2 (“Bretagne International” booth) at 3GSM, the two companies demonstrate Iwedia’s “Comedia for DVB-H” software solution embedded in a Linux-based PDA equipped with Silembia’s EMB6500 DVB-H reference platform.

As a result of technology integration complexity increase, customers not only require a single software brick, but also the integrated solution for their specific system. “The result of this integration is a turn key hardware and software solution that aims to dramatically reduce the time to market of DVB-H enabled handheld devices” claims Hervé Creff, Iwedia’s VP Marketing.

Besides, customers more and more look for virtual system solutions featuring hardware (IP blocks) and software to enable faster economic returns. “In a world where idea to market cycles shorten, ensuring that Silembia’s IP blocks are easily hooked and compatible with middleware stack vendors minimizes customers’ burden of having to integrate the total system by themselves” claims Jean-Marc Guyot, Silembia’s Executive Officer.
