At CounterPivot, we recognize the need for reliable communication networks. Our team has been involved in a variety of solutions for mobile networking, spectrum use, and options to help relieve congestion with the increased demand for mobile video.
This week, US Commissioner, Brendan Carr, delivered keynote remarks to the India Mobile Congress 2020 regarding the US Story on ATSC 3.0. Our Pixstory today is to share some highlights from his comments
“I think it is safe to say that terrestrial broadcasting in India is at pivotal point in time. With the ongoing digital transition and historically underutilized broadcast spectrum, India has an opportunity to take a giant leap forward and embrace the cutting edge of broadcast technology, namely ATSC 3.0. This very technical sounding term is the latest—and, indeed, greatest—internationally recognized broadcast transmission standard. And because it is an IP-based standard that is aligned with 3GPP specifications, it is ready made for the evolving wireless marketplace.”
“ …With India’s “mobile first” society and its growing demand for mobile video, India’s traditional mobile networks must add capacity. Indeed, India is expected to grow to more than 850 million wireless users, which will put an incredible strain on existing capacity as video content is streamed to more and more devices. This is where India’s powerful but underutilized broadcast spectrum—enhanced by ATSC 3.0—can be put to work to meet the exploding demand for high-speed Internet services. While 5G deployment is essential, broadcast spectrum can play a key role in relieving congestion created by the surge in demand for mobile video. It is therefore critical that regulators identify the appropriate regulatory environment to enable this efficient, high-capacity spectrum to come to market quickly”
“…Finally, while I have been happy to share our experiences with you, I am also eager to hear about the approach India is taking to help ensure that this important new technology is able to flourish. While the ATSC 3.0 standard is international, the challenges faced by each country will vary. As regulators, we must therefore remain flexible and willing to learn.”
