5G technology has the potential to radically change the way people access high-quality digital media on the move. And with video consumption on mobile devices rocketing in recent years, telcos, media firms and vendors are examining how mobile technologies might be used to distribute content from linear services to immersive experiences. For network operators, 5G provides the opportunity to make infrastructure more dynamic, while content owners and broadcasters – particularly those hosting live events – provide higher quality content more efficiently, with lower latency. Join this IB365 webinar for a discussion on the state of 5G broadcast and the implications for broadcasters and content creators. https://www.ibc.org/webinars/14-september-5g-for-broadcast/7808.article Tuesday 14th September 2021 15:00 - 16:00 CEST
