The Telecommunications Engineering Centre (TEC) report has suggested that 3GPP 5G broadcast standards - backed by global chipmakers Qualcomm and Samsung, telecom equipment vendors Nokia and Ericsson as well as Indian telecom operators - have superior ecosystem readiness for direct-to-mobile (D2M) broadcasting compared with the ATSC 3.0 protocols.
Saankhya Labs managing director Parag Naik, who claimed that the report favoured MNCs, called D2M a "uniquely Indian innovation" that "will be India s next UPI".
Direct-to-mobile (D2M) is a broadcasting technology that allows you to receive multimedia content on your phone without an internet connection. It works like FM radio, where signals are transmitted and picked up by a receiver in your device.
