Telegent ships 20 million mobile TV receivers

Telegent Systems announced that it has shipped more than 20 million mobile TV receivers since it launched the products in 2007.

The TV receivers have been rapidly adopted by consumers who want to watch the same TV on their mobiles that they enjoy on their home TVs.

Telegent’s receivers use the existing broadcast infrastructure, and allow consumers to watch local programming.

Telegent’s latest success is a deal with Telefónica Móviles Perú, to bring mobile TV to Telefónica’s ZTE i766 handset.

In order to continue its rapid growth, Telegent is expanding into the PC TV market in 2009 and adopting the digital standard DVB-T.

Weijie Yun, president and CEO of Telegent Systems, said: “By expanding to PC TV and digital standards, Telegent provides consumers around the world with more choice and convenience with respect to how they access their preferred broadcast TV programs.”
