Humber College’s Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab
The first of its kind in North America
Humber College has developed Canada’s first Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab to explore multisectoral data delivery applications enabled by the new Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 television broadcast standard. The first of its kind in North America, the B²C Lab offers an ATSC 3.0 broadcast system and will include experimental 3.0 OTA broadcast testing, as well as a 5G core network to explore hybrid data delivery applications with mobile networks. With an accomplished team of faculty researchers and students, the B²C Lab is fostering partnerships with Canadian stakeholders leading to technology and business innovation at the local, regional and national levels.
Join us in this B²C Lab Industry Workshop Series.
