Join Humber’s Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab for a three-day workshop with Mark Corl, SVP of Emergent Technology Development of Triveni Digital, and explore the ATSC 3.0 protocol stack in detail.

The ATSC 3.0 is an IP-based television terrestrial transmission standard currently rolling out in the U.S., The IP’s backbone enables datacasting, an IoT application, and it enables convergence with other IP-based networks, including LET/5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. The ATSC 3.0 system is the only IP-based of its kind and the most efficient one-to-many delivery system in the world.

3GPP (the global mobile standards development partnership project) recently approved a new study item to study non-3GPP broadcast technologies' potential inclusion in the 5G ecosystem. This would be alongside other non-3GPP RANs such as Wi-Fi, Satellite, Bluetooth, etc. The new study item has the potential to be a game-changer for broadcast technology, including ATSC3.0, and its success can pave the way to get broadcast receiver chips in phones.

There are many ways to interconnect ATSC 3.0 with a 5G system where it can serve as a capacity multiplier - at the PHY layer, the IP layer, the Core layer, and within the handset. The B²C Lab is installing a 5G core into the Lab in 2023 to facilitate further research, which will establish Humber College as the only industry research lab in North America with both ATSC 3.0 and 5GC ecosystems exploring convergence in broadcast-broadband technologies.

If you'd like to learn more about this new technology being developed at Humber’s B²C Lab, contact us and let's work together in this exciting new area of research.
