Global 5G Broadcast Solutions
Essential Transmissions for First Responders and Emergency Alert System
5G Broadcast brings an entirely new, reliable tool to first responders by delivering encrypted, directed video and data to the field on a smartphone, tablet, or commercial receiver.
5G Broadcast a Reality with Worldwide Commercial Deployments
5G Broadcast is a new platform designed to deliver content directly to smartphones, CPE (customer premises equipment) or any smart device with a 5G modem chip with no need for cell service (no sim required), WIFI, Bluetooth or satellite connectivity.
First Responders
5G Broadcast offers first responders a reliable way to receive encrypted video and data in the field, directly on their smartphones, tablets or commercial receiver.
Streaming TV, Radio, Live Events
The one-to-many delivery of high-quality content via 5G Broadcast offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for live events, ensuring reliable simultaneous access for multiple users without interruptions.
XGN Tech Solutions
XGN Tech provides hardware (exciters to smartphones, CPEs, SDRs) and software (5G Core to modulation, middleware, apps), partnering solutions for the emerging world of 5G Broadcast .
5G Broadcasting 101
5G Broadcast (5GB) is a highly efficient protocol enabling direct-to-mobile (D2M) content delivery. Unlike the one-to-one unicast method, 5GB uses a one-to-many approach, similar to traditional broadcasting, sending a single signal to a broad area. This significantly improves efficiency and frees network resources, ensuring high-quality content delivery to large audiences without straining bandwidth.
