BCAST Smartcard Trial Currently Underway
By CXOtoday Staff
Mumbai, 21 Aug 2008, 1519 hrs IST

Alcatel-Lucent, along with telecom providers - SingTel and StarHub, is conducting commercial trial of the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)'s new BCAST Smartcard Profile.

BCAST Smartcard is considered to be an emerging standard for Mobile TV content protection.

This trial is being conducted for MobileOne (M1), a mobile telecommunications service provider in Singapore, and MediaCorp.


The trial began in early August 2008 and is based on Alcatel-Lucent's Mobile Interactive TV solution, which will power the DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld) platform for the trial. The trial also includes mobile devices from Samsung and Smartcard Profile-compliant SIM cards from Gemalto.

The BCast Smartcard Profile (OMA BCAST SCP) standard is a SIM-based service protection system that enables Mobile TV providers to offer flexible subscription models incorporating services such as pay-per-view, pay-per-time, recorded content, etc.
