Pioneering 5G Broadcast innovation

Explore 5G Broadcast based content distribution @ IBC 2025

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.

Use Cases

5G Broadcast Standalone

5G Broadcast on-premise offline deployment, independent from internet connectivity, anytime 24×7.

Seamless Switching

Seamless switching between 5G Broadcast and broadband. The services are dynamically provisioned.

Uninterrupted content streaming anytime, anywhere.

Broadcast on Demand

Reduction of content delivery costs by using 5G Broadcast.

5G Broadcast provisioning based on consumption reports and thresholds with an intelligent switching logic.

Low latency for live events

Seamless switching with low latency for your live event.

Latencies even below one second enable an immersive experience for your audience.
