5G Broadcast Applications

  • A police car with flashing blue lights parked in a residential neighborhood at night, surrounded by other parked cars and a few people standing nearby.

    Emergency Alerts

    Broadcast critical emergency alerts to all connected devices in a targeted area instantly, helping to ensure public safety during natural disasters, accidents, or other urgent situations.

  • Person sitting in a car at night using a smartphone to take a picture of the city lights outside, with a blurred city skyline in the background.

    Broadcast Direct-to-Mobile

    Enable seamless mobile TV services by broadcasting popular shows, movies, and news directly to mobile devices without overloading the network, providing uninterrupted entertainment on the go.

  • A soccer player is standing on the field with a ball during a match in heavy rain, with water being sprayed over the stadium from a large hose, and photographers capturing the scene.

    Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)

    Empower remote learning by broadcasting educational content to students in rural or underserved areas, ensuring equal access to quality education regardless of location.

    Deliver real-time sports events and concerts to millions of viewers simultaneously with zero buffering, ensuring a high-quality experience for every fan, no matter where they are.

 FAQs

  • 5G Broadcast (5GB) is a developing protocol for the mobile age and soon will provide existing broadcasters with the game changing ability to deliver content direct-to-mobile (D2M). Instead of each phone requesting the same data stream individually as in cellular (one-to-one approach i.e. unicast), 5G Broadcast sends a single, high-powered signal out to a broad area (one-to-many approach), just as over-the-air TV and radio stations work.

  • Not at all. 5G Broadcast is an independent technology and does not required eSIM/simcard i.e. cellular service, WiFi or Bluetooth to operate.

  • 5G Broadcast can serve the public good by ensuring the delivery of Emergency Alerts in under half a second, streaming linear programming, specialized, encrypted solutions for first responders, and data delivery. When cell service goes down, 5G Broadcasting is a back up.

  • As per 3GPP, 5G Broadcast can be transmitted over Band 108(470-698MHz) and Band 107(612-652MHz). In the USA, broadcastering is restricted to 470-608MHz frequency range.

  • 5G Broadcast (5GB) technology can deliver content directly to smartphones, CPE (customer premises equipment) or any other smart device with a 5G Broadcast enabled modem chip.

  • Not yet. Consumers need to wait for new smart phone models with updated software and chips enabled to receive the 5G Broadcast frequency range.

  • 5G Broadcast allows broadcast signals to be received directly by smart phones and provides additional support for the enormous data consumption needs by mobile devices and CPE’s.

  • Existing TV broadcasting station will need to change only the modulator-exciter and the rest of the OFDM capable infrastructure can remain the same.

  • Radio stations can be delivered directly to a smartphone using 5G Broadcast. However, radio stations cannot use their existing VHF frequencies for 5G Broadcasting.
