Taking 5G to the next level
Redefining the possibilities of content delivery
At Rohde & Schwarz we see new and exciting possibilities where 5G Broadcasting is a game changer. It’s the future of media delivery and it scales with unprecedented efficiency and reliability.
Currently we see that internet streaming is fundamentally flawed when we try to scale. Every device that requires streamed media demands chunks of data from media servers, this results in a resource-heavy delivery system. Adding a viewer’s device to a streamed event makes a specific demand on the internet infrastructure, and when this reaches a certain tipping point, all users are affected and suffer a significant degradation in the quality of their signal and the overall experience.
5G Broadcast is here to solve that problem and is a one-to-many technology where all mobile device viewers receive the live event through the 5G network. As the devices are effectively passive, adding more devices doesn’t affect the network at all. Therefore, all users have the same high-level quality of experience and service.
Although live video distribution is very important, 5G broadcast/multicast does not necessarily mean mobile TV. In fact, 5G is bringing new broadcast and multicast capabilities to the whole ecosystem. Read on and discover more about the benefits of 5G Broadcast and the applications it is enabling.
