5G Broadcast
Ateme and ORS boost 5G-Broadcast capacity with the deployment of a NextGen Statmux
Digital terrestrial television in the 5G age
The ORS is significantly involved in the enhancement of the new 5G Broadcast transmission standard, the digital terrestrial television in the age of 5G.
The new 5G Broadcast transmission standard enables linear broadcast content to be distributed directly to mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets – without Wi-Fi or internet. The ORS is driving research and development forward in Austria to ensure that 5G Broadcast transmission behaves in a similarly efficient manner to DVB-T2.

Our service offerings and 5G Broadcast testbed Vienna
The ORS group is a global leader in the research and development of the new 5G Broadcast standard.
Since 2020, ORS has been running its own testbed in Vienna and supporting companies and organisations in the further development of 5G Broadcast applications with service offerings.
What does 5G Broadcast stand for?
According to a study by the University of Salzburg, linear broadcasting is highly popular in Austria. Linear television makes up around 80 percent of audio-visual content use, with an even higher percentage for radio stations. Consumption of content on mobile devices continues to gain in importance.
5G Broadcast is a new technology that is being developed in line with market requirements to address the shift in media usage. It allows broadcast content to be distributed directly to mobile devices. Unlike streaming, users do not need an internet connection to receive content on 5G-compatible end devices, whereby mobile television does not use up the user's data volume.

5G Broadcast brings benefits at all levels
The new 5G Broadcast transmission standard offers numerous advantages. A single data stream is distributed via a high-tower high-power (HTHP) transmitter to all end devices in the coverage area. 5G Broadcast can take the load off mobile communication networks during large live broadcasts and offer a high level of reliability.
The underlying technology
5G Broadcast is based on the 3GPP LTE-based 5G Terrestrial Broadcast Service broadcast standard. It enables the distribution of linear media content via large radio cells with a radius of up to 60 kilometres. A single data stream is broadcast using a high-tower high-power transmitter. All mobile devices within the coverage area of this transmitter can receive the programmes distributed via this data stream.
Global initiative
The ORS is accelerating the research and realization of 5G Broadcast, the digital terrestrial television of the 5G age.
Since 2019, the company is actively involved in a global initiative – the 5G Media Action Group – to push forward the developments in Austria.
