There’s a lot of hype around 5G, but it’s unclear what will actually be possible with the next-generation cellular mobile system. Among the many trials and tests, perhaps of most interest to the TV industry are the ones looking at mass delivery of video content.

DVB World is the biggest annual gathering dedicated to DVB standards, services and technology. With more than 200 delegates from around the world representing broadcasters, service providers, manufacturers, policymakers and researchers, it is a rare opportunity to access authoritative analysis and informed discussion rather than the commercial pitches that dominate other events. All this, and an excellent environment for networking too!
