The DVB set of specifications for mobile TV and
IP Datacast was developed over a number of years by the technical
module of the DVB Project, an industry consortium whose membership
currently numbers more than 270 companies from around the world.
This has ensured that the development of the technical system
has been accompanied by the parallel design and development of
compliant products by a large number of companies.
The fact that DVB designs open and interoperable standards has
allowed even non-member companies to benefit from DVB's work in
developing DVB-H products. DVB-H has unparalleled multi-vendor
support. To search a list of products which have been declared
compliant to DVB standards please visit the DVB website. The lists
below are not intended to be comprehensive, but give an indication
of the strength and breadth of support for DVB-H
