Jeju has been conducting empirical research on next-generation terrestrial broadcasting services for over 10 years.
ATSC 3.0, which is a combination of broadcasting network and 5G communication network, is the core technology.
When UHD broadcasting starts based on ATSC 3.0 technology, one broadcaster can transmit up to 12 channels simultaneously with one frequency.
Viewers can enjoy a wider variety of terrestrial content for free without signing up for a paid broadcast.
[Han Sang-hyuk/Chairman of Korea Broadcasting and Communications Commission: Today's demonstration of innovative services using terrestrial UHD broadcasting technology is expected to strengthen the publicity of broadcasting and serve as an opportunity for the growth of the broadcasting industry.]
ATSC 3.0 is combined with 5G Internet networks, so it is not difficult to see areas of the world. Broadcasting content can be viewed seamlessly even in a moving vehicle.
Various disaster information such as Corona 19 outbreak situation and typhoon is also transmitted through one of 12 channels and can be viewed on TV as well as mobile.
[Ki-Young Choi/Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication: ATSC 3.0, the next generation broadcasting standard introduced by Korea and the United States, has various advantages such as multi-channel, mobility, and two-way, as well as ultra-high quality.
Next-generation broadcasting services using the ATSC 3.0 broadcasting network will be commercialized when empirical research is completed sooner or later, and viewers will be able to enjoy various terrestrial contents transmitted through dozens of channels for free.
