For Turkey’s first 5G live broadcast, a local software was used
along with Turkcell’s 5G test network. Shots taken by a broadcast
camera connected to the 5G handset, which were put in a specific
designed backpack. Alongside the camera and the 5G handset, the
backpack contained the broadcast encoder and battery. Thanks to the
5G network capabilities, the live broadcast was transmitted over
Turkcell 5G network to the broadcaster uninterrupted, in high
quality and low latency. As the sports channel broadcasted the
shots live, Turkey’s first 5G live broadcast was successfully
completed with 5G technology supported by the local software.
“5G brings profound innovation to the broadcasting and media
industry”
Emphasizing that Turkcell has initiated a new era in Turkish TV
broadcasting, “We are proud to add another first to our 5G efforts
in Turkey. Turkcell, for over a quarter-century, has been at the
forefront of bringing next-generation technologies to life. With
commercial 5G deployed in the future, we will witness significant
innovation in all industries,” says Gediz Sezgin, Turkcell
CTO. “The broadcasting and media industry will be one of the
first and most important industries that we will observe this
innovation concretely. 5G-enabled data transmission in high
capacity and lower latencies will unlock new possibilities in
broadcasting industry and enhance the viewer experience.”
“As we observe in this live broadcast, 5G technology enables
speeds over only one handset that otherwise require multiple
devices. Through data transmission speeds in Gbps, we can watch
video stream of a cameraman with low latencies and regardless of
location. Backed by Turkcell’s strong and resilient infrastructure,
we will continue to offer breakthrough experiences through
next-generation technologies like we did in TV broadcasting.”
