KhushTech launches India's first D2M feature phone with Tejas chip

KhushTech Korea announced the launch of the world's first Direct-to-Mobile (D2M) feature phone under the FreeStream brand, developed in partnership with Tejas Networks.

The phone is powered by Tejas Networks' SL-3000 D2M demodulator chip and operates in the 470-608 MHz broadcast bands. The technology delivers IP-based live TV, video, audio, and data directly to phones without internet, targeting educational content delivery in rural areas.

KhushTech plans to establish a manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh, supporting the "Make in India" initiative. Tejas Networks developed the demodulator, operating system, and middleware, while Sinclair Inc. collaborated on infrastructure hardware and software.
