Featured with 32-bit CPU with processing speed of over 4000 DMIPS, M3701M is proved to outperform other similar solutions currently available on the market in terms of operating and processing power. Supporting Linux and Android operating system and maintaining application development flexibility, M3701M presents an ideal platform for operators and service providers to easily develop value-added services to satisfy current demand and also to readily expand their services for all kinds of future opportunities. In addition, M3701M is equipped with an embedded high-performance Open GL ES v2.0 vector graphic engine to support development of 3D gaming. In all, M3701M provides the best platform for all kinds of two-way value-added services to be realized under the concept of three-network convergence.
M3202-C – One price serves all; best solution for rural areas, remote villages, and 2nd STB markets
As the Chinese cable ASO gradually expands from cities to rural areas and remote villages, and additionally to second STB in urban families, how to provide these customers a mature STB solution with a high price/performance ratio has become a major concern for operators and service providers. ALi’s M3202-C, a highly integrated SD DVB-C SoC, is especially designed for this segment. Packed with advanced functionalities, M3202C is a top choice for operators to provide the entry level standard definition STB market with value-added services while meeting the requirement for optimal cost structure.
M3381-T – Terrestrial Solution
Supporting standard definition MPEG-2, H.264, and AVS video decoder applications, which effectively reduce bandwidth requirement, M3381T is a cost efficient SoC compliant with Chinese domestic terrestrial broadcasting standard, DTMB. M3381T serves as an extension to the digital TV broadcasting network, providing digital broadcasting services to areas without cable network deployment.
