New generation of Nokia Mediamaster digital receivers on display
Nokia - the world's leading digital technology brand - unveils its new generation of Mediamaster set top boxes for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite services at the 1998 International Broadcasting Convention. Star of the show will be the Nokia Mediamaster 9850 T, which is set to be the world's first digital terrestrial set top box.
The United Kingdom will be the first country in the world to launch a digital terrestrial television (DTT) service and Nokia is ideally placed to bring its digital expertise to the broadcasting industry - which will be watching the UK as a blueprint for the rest of the world.
Nokia will be unveiling the following digital receivers:
* Nokia Mediamaster 9850 T for ONdigital and UK DTT services.
* Nokia Mediamaster 9740 C (Eurobox) for digital cable services.
* Nokia Mediamaster 9800 S for multi-access digital satellite transmissions.
"Digital broadcasting is going to be the hottest topic at the show," commented Pekka Kuusela, Vice President, Sales, Central Europe "and Nokia is leading the way. Clearly, our investment in digital video broadcasting is demonstrated with product strength in this industry for the global markets."
