LPTV Stations for 5G Broadcasting in the US

In the U.S., Experimental Broadcast Licenses are being granted for six month periods. Each station launched must have a specific purpose in furthering 5G Broadcast development.

5G Broadcast is in its budding stages. New technology in both software and hardware are being developed every week.

5G Broadcasting will be ready for first responder solutions and public consumption in 2025.

With commercial deployments announced for Germany, Spain, Greece, and France, 5G Broadcast is no longer a concept but rather a reality! You can check out global trials and deployments here

WWOO-LD, Boston, MA

WWOO-LD BOSTON is the first 5G Broadcast station to launch in the US. On September 13th, 2023, WWOO successfully proved two challenges:

  1. Delivering a streaming channel to a smartphone capabale of receiving a 5G Broadcast signal on TV channel 28 in Boston.

  2. Delivering an emergency alert to a smartphone in 5G Broadcast protocol.

Both challenges were successfully proven with emergency alerts being deployed to smartphones in under ½ second.

LPTV: Low Power but Full Coverage

In the US, UHF LPTV stations are currently restricted to an ERP of 15kw. LPTV might be labeled Low Power, but make no mistake, LPTV is full coverage in the U.S.

Of the 7,120 licensed broadcast television stations, 5,374 or 75% are Low Power. Full power stations cover the majority of the US population, but not the rural areas. LPTV covers all, from major cities to America’s small towns.

LPTV Serves the Public Interest Across the U.S.

LPTV 5G is uniquely positioned to deliver reliable coverage across the entire nation. Plain and simple. Broadcast 5G for all, not just the big cities.

5G Broadcasting allows LPTV stations to provide live programming as well as essential services for first responders, from public alerts to encrypted information. This is truly in the public interest and serves the public interest.

Working together with the LPTV Broadcasters Association, XGen Network is bringing the future to LPTV.

Working together

For 5G Broadcast, we have developed a solid business plan that serves the local community in a unique new way and generates revenue for LPTV stations — a revolutionary idea coming in 2025.
