ITU-R SG 6 Workshop on the development of digital terrestrial television delivery systems

At the ITU-R Study Group 6 workshop in Geneva, BNE set out why Europe’s window to turn 5G Broadcast into a success story is now. Presenting jointly with South 180, Jean-Pierre Faisan, Chair of BNE’s Communications Working Group, pointed to the resilience of terrestrial broadcasting across BNE’s 19 member countries as the foundation to build on.

BNE called for two conditions to unlock that potential: 5G Broadcast-enabled chipsets in all new mobile phones sold in Europe from 2029, and guaranteed long-term access to the UHF band — including the 600 MHz band, key to bringing 5G Broadcast to smartphones.
