While 5G is, and has been for several years, a household word, a technology that this fifth-generation of personal wireless communication has spawned may be new to many: “5G Broadcast” (or “LTE-based 5G Terrestrial Broadcast” as it’s officially referenced).
5G Broadcast is based on the use of wireless broadband network technology for distribution of media to consumers on mobile devices. However, this version of 5G is not based on the current one-to-one (unicast) distribution for streaming, but rather a one-to-many (broadcast) dissemination scheme using the “high-tower/high-power” approach that conventional broadcasters rely on.
