5G Broadcast meets Broadband
Enabling unlimited IP
content delivery
Explore 5G Broadcast based content distribution
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.
Easy Integration
Nakolos consists of a lightweight integrable software solution for your existing mobile app and a cloud-based backend for advanced features.
Streaming Protocols
Nakolos supports the latest streaming protocols such as HLS, DASH, CMAF and more.

Our Solution
Our solution consists of a 5G Broadcast core, which serves as content input and steering point for the transmitter network and a 5G Broadcast middleware, which enables an easy integration of seamless switching between 5G BC and 4G/5G/Wi-Fi into existing apps.
