5G-MAG REFERENCE TOOLS
ABOUT
The internet is being increasingly used by service providers to expand content reach and by users to consume it at anytime, anywhere and on any device. With mobile technologies driving global video consumption it is paramount to empower the media industry with the adequate tools to access the 5G media platform.
Simplifications, support and workflow abstractions are needed in a dynamic world of applications, software-centric solutions and agile developments. Access to open-source tools to support prototyping, trials and possibly even deployments is of utmost relevance.
The 5G-MAG Reference Tools development programme is now developing the ecosystem of common open-source reference tools to support the implementation and interoperability of 5G Media technologies.
