The box that changed the world is increasingly digital
The Telecommunications and Multimedia Unit (UTM) is involved in a great European project in the area of Digital Television, in which twenty-six European institutions participate. ENTHRONE’s objective is to develop a solution of integrated management that covers the whole chain of audiovisual distribution. Among other functionalities, it is going to enable the usual viewer to consume his favourite TV content, wherever he is and whatever the equipment he is using.

From then on, the trainee Lúcia Sousa joined the service and, in October, it welcomed Ana Rodrigues, who is in charge of translating the general communication devices developed by this service.
