5G Broadcasting: Direct to Mobile
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!
