Video compression company Ateme is working with analogue and digital broadcasting company ORS Group to test 5G Broadcast capacity for live streaming services.
The trial used Ateme’s NextGen StatMux technology, designed to work with 3GPP, DVB, and ATSC.
ORS Group successfully integrated this solution into its 5G-Broadcast Nakolos platform in Vienna, achieving the transmission and reception of a multiplex of five services.
The trial demonstrated up to 20 per cent, efficiency gains, allowing for the addition of more channels within the same broadcast band, said the companies.
“The trial successfully showcased the gains it would bring to this emerging market, after an exceptionally smooth integration in ORS 5G Broadcast environment. We are thrilled to collaborate with ORS Group, pioneer of 5G Broadcast, for the integration and maturation of our 5G Broadcast solutions.”, said Julian Mandel, senior solution marketing director at Ateme.
“The world’s first test of statistical multiplexing in our operational 5G Broadcast environment in Vienna has shown that spectrum efficiency can be further increased when using 5G Broadcast,” added Dr Johann Mika, chief innovation officer of ORS group.
“This will also contribute to strengthening the future business model of broadcast network operators operating 5G Broadcast. We are excited to continue testing and developing this innovative solution for 5G Broadcast together with Ateme.”
