Media Broadcast's transmitter site in Nauen, not far from Berlin, is one of the oldest broadcasting transmitters in the world. It is being modernized and upgraded with new, innovative 5G technology. On this site, we have set up a 5G campus network to function as a proof of concept. It is not just media firms and event organizers that are being offered a unique opportunity to try 5G and comprehensively test 5G applications on protected frequencies – firms from industry also have a unique opportunity to give it a go. There is a strong focus on applications which will make TV productions easier in future and make use of new features at the same time - an independent 5G solution, offering complete flexibility. The 5G infrastructure is made up of both an indoor and outdoor area. The 5G core network employed at the site, the "Open5GCore", was created by the Fraunhofer FOKUS Institute. "Open5GCore" is fully compatible with 3GPP standards. The 5G RAN (Radio Access Network) provides a solution that is independent of the core system. The indoor area consists of Nauen's large broadcasting hall, while the outdoor area covers a stretch of land surrounding a fire retention pond in front of the building. The 5G Blue-Box is the core element of the proof of concept, housing both the 5G standalone core components and the control units for the RAN. Some data...

A 5G Broadcast signal was transmitted during the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 event live and in high quality from sites in 4 European cities simultaneously. At the time, only a select group of users with 5G Broadcast-enabled smartphones in Paris, Stuttgart, Turin, Vienna was able to see these transmissions. The aim is to change that, and to demonstrate, with those transmissions, the value this technology could bring to the media and millions of audience members. 5G Broadcast is a complementary distribution technology that can add value in a number of use-cases – one of which is access to live content for mass audiences on the go, with the possibility to receive free-to-air content even without a SIM card, no need to sign up to third-party services, and in a way that delivers efficiency gains for distribution infrastructures. For the purposes of the 2022 ESC 5G Broadcast trials, the EBU and its Members SWR (Stuttgart), ORS Group (Vienna), France Télévisions (Paris) and RAI (Turin) teamed up with Eurovision services for the ESC signal logistics, Ateme for the encoding and streaming, Rohde & Schwarz for the transmission equipment, and Qualcomm for the prototype 5G Broadcast-compatible handsets.
