Utilizing the Asiastar satellite, which covers the Asia-Pacific region, the trial tested applications like live TV broadcasting, live gaming, OTT hotspot content delivery, and emergency information broadcasting. The trial achieved to demonstrate the capabilities of 5G Broadcast as defined in ETSI TS 103 720, aligning with the full profile of 3GPP specifications.

By using the advanced technological Nakolos solution, the trial demonstrated the feasibility of 5G broadcast delivery to mobile devices, even in challenging scenarios such as vehicular and maritime environments.

Dr. Johann Mika, Chief Innovation Officer of ORS Group, said, “As an innovation leader in 5G broadcast technology, ORS Group is delighted to support this groundbreaking trial with our Nakolos solution. It is exciting to see 5G Broadcast successfully applied to satellite transmission beyond terrestrial use. These technological advancements set new benchmarks for the efficiency and reach of media and information services, especially in areas with connectivity challenges.”

By reducing reliance on traditional cellular networks, the trial showcased how satellite broadcasting can enhance network capacity and support diverse communication needs. Nakolos’ involvement reinforces its role in exploring practical applications of 5G broadcast solutions.

Conducted by Astrum Mobile and Qualcomm with the involvement of prominent Singaporean research institutions, such as the Institute for Infocomm Research (I²R) under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), this trial underscores the importance of pushing the boundaries of mobile communication and data transmission technologies. Industry leaders like the 5G Media Action Group (5G-MAG) and Bitstem also supported the trial, contributing to standardization activities and reference implementations. This collaborative effort not only advances the development of 5G Broadcast functionalities but also highlights a collective commitment to innovation and progress in the broadcasting industry.

Nakolos remains committed to contributing to advancements in this field and to supporting the growing demands of modern broadcast technologies.
