The fifth generation of wireless cellular technologies, 5G, isn’t as venerable and ubiquitous as the long history of broadcasting technologies being celebrated at this year’s Centennial celebration of NAB Show. Yet, 5G will have a major impact, both in terms of immediate applications in the new production gear and in more futuristic demos and discussions of 5G broadcasting that could transform the media and entertainment landscape over the next five to 10 years.
“Per our annual Broadcast Transformation Report, 5G is being cited by broadcasters as the technology that will have the biggest impact on the broadcasting industry in the next three years,” said Mark Horchler, marketing director of products and solutions at Haivision.
