Recently, Qualcomm teamed up with Nokia, MTV, Elisa, ENENSYS Technologies, Bittium and the Finnish Broadcasting Corporation (Yle) to demonstrate that the evolution of technology for 5G broadcasting will bring new opportunities for the next generation of terrestrial TV services. This demo shows that wireless networking technology is ready Ready to provide highly customized public broadcast services more efficiently; It also confirms that 5G is getting closer to the average consumer, and the applications it covers are gradually entering everyone's life.
This event attracted more than 50 participants from all over Europe, including government officials, regulators, public and private broadcasters, mobile operators, equipment suppliers and media reporters. 5G media distribution has great potential, the entire end The end-to-end TV broadcasting ecosystem will benefit from this, including terminal equipment, mobile network operators, TV broadcasters and content providers. This demonstration is one of the early examples of the potential of 5G broadcasting. For example, Qualcomm senior vice president and Europe, Enrico Salvatori, president of Middle East and Africa, said that 5G cellular broadcasting technology has great potential for the entire broadcasting ecosystem. It will provide a platform for new services and significantly enhance the user experience.
In fact, the industry has been steadily promoting the application of cellular technology in broadcasting and television services. Prior to this, 3GPP introduced Release LTE enTV (Enhanced Television) technology for digital television broadcasting in Release 14, which brought a number of enhancements to the radio access layer. Features, including support for better coverage for mobile and fixed terminals, greater broadcast capacity, and greater deployment flexibility. This undoubtedly solidifies the foundation for the smooth deployment of 5G broadcasts.
Many industry participants who participated in the event expressed recognition and expectation for the potential of 5G broadcasting. The CEO of Finnish Broadcasting Corporation stated that broadcasting services are now turning to IP networks, that is, switching from a specific distribution network to a multi-purpose universal network, consumers can already pass through many The network receives television broadcasts, and 5G's spectrum efficiency is a key step in this correct direction. We will no longer need to send real-time content to each recipient. A Nokia participant also shared similar insights. He believes that , Digital TV broadcasting and video services not only require huge capacity, but also need reliable high-speed connections. This is highly compatible with the core elements of 5G networks – including comparable fiber-optic network speeds, unmatched quality of service, and almost real-time low latency Access.
So, what exactly will 5G broadcasting bring to the changing radio and television? Take the example of future sports broadcasts. Whether it is to track players through multiple cameras during a car broadcast, or to watch the playback of important actions in a football game, or Real-time statistics on multiple matches held at the tennis match. 5G broadcasting will allow mobile users to enjoy rich, multi-streaming experience in all styles of stadiums.
After continuous evolution, 5G broadcasting is more dynamic and more scalable. From a long-term perspective, it will be able to go beyond the mobile domain and provide solutions for the next generation of terrestrial television.
