The 5G Today project has begun a large-area field test of TV broadcasting in Germany. The trial is taking place in the alpine region of Bavaria, which is covered by two 100 kW effective radiated power transmitters operated by public broadcaster BR. Using the Further evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service, the TV channel can be distributed over a large range with a radius of up to 60 kilometres, demonstrating how broadcast content can be efficiently transmitted through 5G networks. The project aims to show how 5G-connected devices can be served without occupying mobile networks and at no extra cost to the public.
