In the deployment of 5G Broadcasting on WWOO, XGen Network will work with ATSC 3.0 station WCRN-LD, Boston. Using two platforms, XGen will utilize the two signals to maximise both programming and data possibilities.

Full power broadcast stations have developed ATSC 3.0 knowing how it can truly benefit their viewers and advertisers by providing 4k and even 8k pictures paired with Dolby sound. It is a difficult deployment and well suited to facilities with a full time engineering staff.

LPTV is suited to 5G for its simple deployment and the low power not causing same channel interference issues with unlimited SFN’s as would a high power, tall tower full power station. Further it can serve the public interest with programming received directly on their smartphone or tablet as well as their television.
