Technology
5G Broadcast is a 3GPP transmission standard (“LTE-based 5G Terrestrial Broadcast”) that facilitates the transmission of IP-based media content over large cells (up to 60 km) directly to mobile devices. The smartphones or tablets can receive the stream without the need of a SIM card, Wi-Fi or internet connection.
Content providers such as broadcasters or streaming providers use this technology to reach their audience by sending the signal once to an unlimited number of customers within the reception area via a high-tower-high-power transmitter.
Nakolos leverages the 5G Broadcast technology to enable new use cases for content providers and broadcast network operators, giving them access to new business models and customers.
