1 The world s most advanced DVB-H, DVB-SH & DVB-T solutions Create your Mobile TV broadcast network

2 Company profile UDcast - the leading provider of solutions bringing together IP Broadcast and Wireless experience UDcast's solutions are designed to enable broadcasters, mobile operators and service providers to fully leverage their infrastructure and meet customer needs, through the delivery of revenue generating added value services in the area of Mobile TV. Capitalizing on UDcast's core technology, UDcast provides DVB-H, DVB-SH and DVB-T standard compliant solutions for the delivery of TV content to mobile devices. UDcast provides the industry's first ever and the most advanced DVB-H compliant IP Encapsulator and the IPE Manager - a central Mobile TV network administration system. UDcast also offers DVB-H/DVB-T Monitoring equipment and Analyzers, enabling management of large Mobile TV networks, and Flexible Distribution systems for digital television deployments. Based on the isplicer equipment, the flexible distribution makes use of cost efficient Satellite and IP distribution networks to deliver the high value content, local channels and targeted advertising into the precisely defined geographic areas. Founded in 2000, UDcast maintains its global headquarters in Sophia-Antipolis, France with offices, sales representatives and partners around the world. DELIVERING THE NEW MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCE Mobile TV demonstrates to be one of the fastest growing new applications for mobile network operators. However the delivery of the world's number one mass entertainment medium to the mobile device poses numerous problems. Mobile networks, both traditional as GPRS and 3G, as well as newly developed such as 3.5G or WiMAX have been built for one to one services and as such are incapable to scale to enable the delivery of content to a mass audience. For Mobile TV to be a reality, operators must turn towards proven broadcast networks which have been specifically designed to deliver mass content. BROADBAND & MOBILE NETWORK CONVERGENCE The use of broadcast infrastructure to complement mobile networks will enable a new range of revenue generating services for mobile operators including TV. Furthermore the use of these existing broadcast networks ensures that investment remains limited and roll out is accelerated. UDcast is heavily involved in this market, notably through close partnerships with the key telecommunication and broadcasting industry players, IPDC/BMCO forum, DVB Forum, WiMAX forum and ETSI, looking at the utilisation of broadcast networks for the delivery of content to mobile handheld devices. To address a number of issues related to the use of broadcast networks, such as handheld power consumption, mobile and indoor reception, the DVB-H standard has been developed and is now helping to drive IPTV to the mobile developments.

3 PRODUCTS IP Encapsulation Large Scale Network Deployments DVB-H / DVB-SH IP Encapsulator IPE-10 The centerpiece in the end-to-end solution for the datacasting of TV over DVB-H and DVB-SH networks and present in great majority of current DVB-H and DVB-SH trials and deployments, UDcast's DVB-H and DVB-SH standard compliant IPE enables the encapsulation of video and audio sources and their multicasting over the broadcast network to handheld devices. The IPE is the interface between the broadcast IP source and the network distributing the content. Full compliance with DVB-H standard MPE FEC (Forward Error Correction) and DVB-SH ifec Security management with encryption and dynamic IPsec rekeying Loss-free handover support Build-in MIP (Megaframe Initialisation Packet) insertion (option) Build-in SHIP (SH Initialisation Packet) insertion (option) Statistical Multiplexing support with open interfaces Hardware: 1 RU 19 design, dual power supply, clustering and hot-swappable redundancy option DVB-H / DVB-SH IPE-Manager UDcast's IPE-Manager contains network element management features including group management, broadcast scheduling, software upgrades which considerably facilitates the roll out of large DVB-H and DVB-SH networks and the implementation of Mobile TV services. The IPE-Manager addresses the problem of efficient control of the tens or hundreds of IPEs, isplicers and Modulators distributed throughout the DVB-H or DVB-SH system. SNMP and in-band control of IP Encapsulators, isplicers and Transmitters Hierarchical control model tailored for Broadcasters, Mobile Operators and Content Providers Content localisation and scheduling Multicast IPsec encryption and authentication for secure network management Central configuration and upgrades management Hardware: 1 RU 19 design, dual power supply, clustering and hot-swappable redundancy options Flexible Distribution Networks Maximizing Return on Investment DVB-H / DVB-SH / DVB-T isplicer The Network Adapter and Splicer enabling distribution of DVB-H, DVB-SH and DVB-T signal via satellite or IP links directly to transmitters. Provides network adaptation and synchronous splicing of the TV content, enabling broadcasting of local content and addressable advertising on SFN and MFN networks. It may serve as a basic Network Adapter for ASI over IP distribution, or offer up to 80-90% reduction of local content distribution costs. Local and regional content selection for DVB-H and DVB-T (option) Transport Stream over IP Network Adaptation PID filtering, TS bit rate adaptation, SI/PSI regeneration, MPE Delta-T recalculation, PCR restamping (option) Embedded MIP or SHIP insertion (without need for dedicated GPS) Centralized in-band management Hardware: 1 RU 19 design, IP/Ethernet or ASI input, ASI output
