Tests indicates a bright future for global broadcasting
Until now the 5G Broadcast system has been applied for terrestrial radio and television broadcasting in the UHF-band but now it is also going satellite.
Astrum Mobile and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. jointly completed the world's first 5G Broadcast technology trial utilizing a GEO satellite. Utilizing Asiastar which is strategically positioned to reach the entire Asia Pacific region we were able to demonstrate capabilities of 5G Broadcast as defined in ETSI TS 103 720 as a full profile of 3GPP specifications, according to Astrum.
