Telegent Systems, the company that makes television mobile with its high-performance single-chip mobile TV solutions, and Konka Group, a leading Chinese manufacturer of mobile phones and television sets, announced that they have teamed to deliver mobile handsets with free-to-air TV.

The TLG1100 supports NTSC, PAL and worldwide FM broadcast standards and is designed specifically for mobile environments, delivering a high quality picture that remains stable at high speeds of up to 430 km/h. The chip also achieves ultra-low power consumption, enabling multiple hours of continuous viewing time.
"We are impressed with the performance and fast time to market of the free-to-air mobile TV feature," said Hongtao Li, CEO of Konka's Mobile Phone Division. "The picture quality and long battery lifetime provide consumers with a positive viewing experience and allow us to differentiate our handsets and meet consumer demand."
