News Summary:
On April 22, 2026, Neutral Wireless, in collaboration with Castanet 5G, completed a world-first demonstration of a Hybrid 5G Broadcast / ATSC 3.0 transmission system for broadcasters at the NAB conference in Las Vegas. The system, deployed at the Rio Hotel, utilized a Low Power TV (LPTV) transmitter operating at 533 MHz with a 6 MHz bandwidth and 2.7 kW output power. Previously, on April 8, Neutral Wireless joined a group that includes BBC, France Télévisions, Haivision, GSMA, Fusion, Amarisoft, AW2S, RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana, and Sony. This group issued a Statement of Requirement, supported by the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC), highlighting broadcasters' need for user-accessible control of network performance to adopt 5G in broadcasting for resilient, ultra-low-latency operations. This followed an earlier call on April 1 from broadcast industry representatives, who urged mobile network operators to enable user-accessible control of network performance, identifying it as a key barrier to 5G adoption in broadcast.
