Living in Peru : your everyday companion

PRNewswire

Telegent Systems, the company that makes television mobile with its high-performance single-chip mobile TV solutions, together with Telefonica Moviles Peru, today announced that Telefonica has included the ZTE i766, a handset with a live TV feature enabled by Telegent, in its handset lineup.

The handset, branded with Telefonica's Movistar logo, is available in all Telefonica retail outlets for 499 soles in prepaid mode.

Telefonica Peru is one of several operators in Latin America, including Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela, that are leading the way in offering TV handsets with live analog broadcast TV to consumers.

"The live TV feature differentiates our product offering and gives consumers what they want -- access to their favorite programs while they are on the move," said Gustavo Kitazono, director of strategic planning of Telefonica Moviles Peru. "The video and audio quality of Telegent's TV feature is excellent, and consumer interest in the TV feature has been quite high."

Live TV feature provides consumers with familiar, preferred programming

Telegent's TV feature allows consumers to receive the same over-the-air programming that they receive on their television sets at home, providing consumers with access to their favorite news, sports and TV series programs no matter where they are.

This is ideal for workers with long commutes or during breaks or for consumers who would like a second TV or TV portability within the home.
