SUNNYVALE, California, February 4 /PRNewswire/ --

- Movistar-branded ZTE handset enables Peru consumers to view live,
over-the-air TV programming on their handset, anytime, anywhere

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.

"We expect the adoption of live TV handsets in Latin America to be very
strong in 2009," said Weijie Yun, president and CEO of Telegent Systems.
"Telefonica is a leading operator whose innovation in bringing a TV feature
that has proven popular with consumers will enhance their ability to attract
and retain consumers in the highly competitive mobile market."
