Vodafone to trial LTE Broadcast in Germany
Jörn Krieger | 26-02-2014
As Europe’s first mobile network operator, Vodafone Germany will test LTE Broadcast under live conditions along with technology companies Ericsson, Samsung and Qualcomm.
With the new method, which could be described as DTT for mobile networks, linear TV channels can be transmitted to an unlimited number of recipients. In contrast to conventional mobile TV distribution, no single data stream has to be set up for each reception device, preventing network overload during strong demand.
For the test run, the stadium of German Bundesliga team Borussia Mönchengladbach will be equipped with the new streaming technology. An unlimited number of viewers will then be able to watch several TV channels through LTE Broadcast on their smartphones and tablets. The mobile device has to be LTE-compliant and needs an LTE Broadcast app. The Internet data volume included in the mobile phone subscription will not be affected when using the service.
As TV partners, Vodafone has won a large, not yet named German TV broadcaster as well as Sky Deutschland. The pay-TV operator will contribute its Bundesliga coverage to the trial.
“This first test-run in Europe is an important milestone for the German mobile industry,” said Rob Wolters, key account manager at Ericsson. “With LTE Broadcast, we will soon be able to enjoy TV or video transmissions unrestrictedly at locations at which many people want to do so at the same time, for example in the stadium, at public TV viewing events or in shopping centres.”
