HDTV for Unik

The Next Evolution of Orange's Convergence Strategy is Here

Orange has announced it will launch high definition (HD) mobile TV for Unik, giving customers in France access to more than 60 HD mobile TV channels. With this service, Orange Unik customers in France can view high-quality TV content on a UMA-enabled dual-mode handset, whether they are at home, in Orange WiFi hotspots or traveling.

The service will be available on Orange’s world-leading 3G+ UMA platform through a new and exclusive handset from LG, the LG Secret KF757.

“As a leader in convergence, Orange is constantly innovating to bring new services to our customers," said Georges Penalver, Orange's Senior Executive VP Group Strategic Marketing. "Orange HDTV over 3G+ UMA is the next evolution of our mobile TV service, giving customers an enhanced experience with optimal display quality, easy channel access and simplified browsing. Thanks to the quality of its network, Orange can now offer its customers faster and more efficient data access wherever they are.”

Orange’s 3G+ UMA TV service will be available in France on the LG Secret KF757 via the Orange TV Player software or the Orange World portal, and is already available on the Sony Ericsson G705u via the Orange World portal. The new 3G Sony Ericsson G705u also supports the HDTV service. Orange’s existing Unik service currently has more than 1 million customers in France.
