CURRENT SITUATION OF BROADCASTING INDUSTRY
How to get access to
Smartphones?
► Exponential increase of Mobile Video
► Smartphone users desire to consume
HD videos anytime – anywhere
► 4K smartphones now available
rising demand for 4K video quality
MNO CHALLENGES
Heavy investments …
But hardly additional revenues
► R&S Solution:
Utilization of Broadcast/Multicast
concepts
Broadcast/Multicast together with
unicast
Large-scale cells
High Power High Tower (HPHT)
Frequencies < 1 GHz
► It‘s all about efficiency
Efficient spectrum use by Multicast data
distribution just once
R&S VISION: EFFICIENTDISTRIBUTION OF MOBILE TV
Increase of profitability
► Large-scale HPHT network
► Nation wide coverage
► New Business models
► Very low latency
► Cost & Spectrum Efficiency
► Higher QoS, Better QoE
POTENTIAL OF 5G BROADCAST
