Moba-HO! as the S-DMB service has a unique features such as non-directional small antenna can receive the S-band direct broadcasting signal from the Satellite so that no parabolic antenna is needed, no attenuation due to heavy rain and it broadcasts nation-wide at once incorporated with terrestrial repeaters which covers indoor and tunnels etc. The multimedia contents of the S-DMB service consists of the multi-channel of Video, Audio and Data information as commercial service. In addition to the commercial service, it is planed to start to provide the Earthquake Early Warning service over in Japan as disaster prevention media by the end of this fiscal year, in March 2008.
