MediaFLO Technology

Invented to create a true mobile TV experience

Specifically designed to conquer the challenges of mobile broadcasting, MediaFLO technology uses spectrum and power more efficiently for broadcasting mobile multimedia. As a result of its unique design and delivery method, MediaFLO gives a greater value proposition to multi-channel operators and mobile operators by delivering on the promise of greater capacity and a superior experience to end-users.

The MediaFLO System delivers quality without compromise

Designed for the unique needs of the mobile environment, MediaFLO can deliver a complete mobile media experience unlike competing technologies that force a tradeoff between capacity and the quality of the viewer experience. Characteristics of the MediaFLO system include:

  • Content acquisition and distribution – Real-time content is received directly via satellite utilizing off-the-shelf infrastructure equipment in H.264 QVGA resolution.

  • Quality and breadth of service – MediaFLO delivers video at up to 30 frames per second and QVGA resolution with AAC+ stereo audio. And with greater capacity (20+ channels in 6 MHz, 25+ channels in 7 MHz, and 30+ channels in 8 MHz) and ~300 Kbps average allocated bandwidth per channel, viewers experience unmatched variety of programming.

  • Optimized power consumption – Battery life is critical, and MediaFLO allows users to enjoy a battery life of ~ 4 hours with a standard 850 mAh battery without compromising capacity or video quality.

  • Faster channel acquisition time - Viewers enjoy an approximate 2-second channel switch time, enabling faster access to content. MediaFLO delivers this level of performance without compromise to battery life or video quality.

  • Lean infrastructure for lower cost deployment – Exceptional design efficiency enables MediaFLO to deliver twice the services within the same frequency of spectrum as competing technologies.

  • Purpose-bulit from the ground up – Free from the constraints of a legacy technology, MediaFLO enables greater link margin and higher capacity in conjunction with superior time diversity. .
