TRANSMITTING 5G As 5G edges ever closer to wide use, Rohde & Schwarz is offering 5G opportunities for broadcasters with the launch of Tx9 and Tx9evo transmitters. For existing users of Rohde & Schwarz transmitters, a software and minor hardware upgrade is available in order to enable their transmitters for 5G broadcast/multicast. Providing companies with access to 5G broadcast services will pave the way for new business models to be explored, including venue-casting, ultra-high-quality live video streaming, live commerce and over-the-air software updates/upgrades. “Rohde & Schwarz transmitters set the benchmark for power efficiency,” says Rohde & Schwarz vice-president of transmitter and amplifier systems, Manfred Reitmeier. “A wide range of highly innovative broadcast transmitters – including the Tx9 and Tx9evo – provide a distribution system that is ideal for 5G broadcast/multicast content distribution.” CONTROLLING 5G Rohde & Schwarz also introduced its enhanced 5G broadcast server and control centre – BSCC 2.0 – to enable operators to deliver further mobile services and provide mobile-users with super-high-quality video content. “On top of live and linear content, BSCC 2.0 allows content providers to deliver different types of premium content to their mobile users simultaneously, simplifying the implementation of new services for broadcasters and mobile network operators,” explains Reitmeier. BSCC 2.0 supports a wide range of streaming platforms and these new streaming services will become reality as new algorithms and protocols are implemented with the 5G broadcast environment. These will include FLUTE (File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport Stream), DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) and HLS (HTTP Live Streaming).
