Multiple Company Participation in Avanci
Broadcast Paves the Way for Simplified and Efficient NextGen TV
Deployment
ONE Media, LLC, a subsidiary of Sinclair Broadcast Group
(Nasdaq: SBGI), applauds the formation of the Avanci Broadcast
Licensing Platform for ATSC 3.0-related patents,
www.avanci.com/broadcast. The platform will dramatically simplify
the efficient licensing of this new mobile broadcast technology in
millions of receiver devices, easing the distribution and
deployment process.
Joint patent licensing platforms provide for a consortium of
companies agreeing to combine related intellectual property and
offer “one-stop licensing” to vendors that want to include the
technology in their equipment for sale to the public. Avanci, a
pioneer in the formation and management of these types of
platforms, has orchestrated an efficient process permitting
like-minded companies to establish uniform and reasonable royalty
rates for patents needed to implement this wireless IP
technology.
ATSC 3.0 – NextGen Broadcasting – is an ideal candidate for such
joint licensing. Multiple companies have “standard essential
patents” necessary for manufacturers and vendors to offer the
associated advanced services in their equipment.
ATSC 3.0 significantly improves digital broadcasting and,
importantly, paves the way for both enhanced traditional television
and new mobile data services to be provided in concert with 5G
telecommunications delivery systems. Developed by the Advanced
Television Systems Committee, the ATSC 3.0 standard has been
adopted in several countries including notably the United States
and the Republic of Korea. It is under consideration in several
other countries, as well. The suite of voluntary technical
standards and recommended practices represents significant
enhancements from the original ATSC 1.0 standard first adopted in
1996.
The IP-based standard, incorporates remarkable new capabilities
to:
- Enhance quality for audio and video services;
- Provide robust mobile reception on a wide range of
devices;
- Improve spectrum efficiency;
- Provide resilient advanced emergency information;
- Personalize features and services; and,
- Enable integrated web-based interactive services.
Jerald Fritz, Executive Vice President of ONE Media noted
that, “The ability to offer this remarkable technology to consumer
equipment manufacturers in a simple, all-encompassing license,
should ease the process of deploying new receiver products to
consumers worldwide. We congratulate Avanci for helping shepherd
several leading international organizations toward this common
goal.”
