Samsung Electronics today announced that it will live broadcast the GSMA\u2019s \u2018Mobile World Live TV<\/a>\u2019<\/strong>, the official media channel of MWC19 Barcelona, using its 5G network. During MWC19 Barcelona, the channel will air live on big screens throughout the Fira Gran Via venue and the lobbies and bedrooms of more than 280 hotels in Barcelona, as well as stream live globally. Interviews, features and keynotes from renowned industry leaders will be broadcast live over five days.<\/p>\n

Mobile World Live TV is the video broadcast service that provides telecommunications content throughout MWC each year. This year marks the first trial of 5G live broadcasting in the history of Mobile World Live TV.<\/p>\n

Throughout the broadcast, Samsung\u2019s 5G solutions will be used, which are composed of a radio access unit (5G Radio) and a 5G router (CPE), powering the content shot by the High Definition Television Video (HDTV) camera at the booth of Mobile World Live TV located in Broadcast Village, Gran Via.<\/p>\n

Previously, fiber-based backhaul was used for transmission from Mobile World Live TV\u2019s booth to its production facility. This year\u2019s transmission will be supported by Samsung\u2019s 5G network, which is effective in overcoming the physical limitations of a fiber-based network. 5G broadcast offers ultra-low latency for the transmission of large files such as video content.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to demonstrate how our latest technology can make an outstanding difference in creating new possibilities for broadcast at MWC19 Barcelona, the largest trade show in the mobile industry,\u201d said GY Seo, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Sales & Marketing, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics.<\/strong> \u201cSamsung is committed to meeting market demands of larger capacity and ultra-low latency attributed to the advancement of the entertainment industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMobile World Live TV has a history of using mobile technology to power its broadcast, with 4G cameras supporting live transmission from across Fira Gran Via and the city of Barcelona in previous years. For 2019 we are excited to broadcast using Samsung\u2019s 5G network, enabling true seamless transmission without latency,\u201d said Justin Springham, Director of Media Content and Broadcast, GSMA.<\/strong> \u201cMobile World Live TV and Samsung will be at the forefront of offering immersive user experiences thanks to this 5G broadcast.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the power of broadcasting lies with immediate engagement and interaction with viewers, the network used for broadcasting a live channel should be able to support seamless transmission of high-quality and large-capacity content via televisions and other electronic devices without experiencing latency. User experiences with broadcast are essential in determining the capabilities of 5G network solutions to support live broadcast more broadly in the future.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, following its world\u2019s first complete commercialization of 5G FWA solutions, comprised of 5G radio (access unit and virtualized RAN), 5G routers and next-generation core in February 2018, Samsung brought one of the smallest integrated FCC-certified 5G radio base stations and 5G home routers (CPEs) to the market. In addition to its successful commercialization of 5G services across the U.S.<\/a>, Samsung has been selected by one of the major Korean operators as a 5G vendor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mobile World Live TV is the GSMA\u2019s award-winning broadcast service of MWC19 Barcelona. It airs from 4pm CET Sunday 24 February through 4 pm Thursday 28 February. For more information visit http:\/\/www.mobileworldlive.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
