LTE Multicast: The Future of Mobile Content Delivery
Technology demonstration taking place at Verizon Power House in New York during Super Bowl week.
Verizon Wireless has announced that it is showcasing LTE Multicast technology during Super Bowl week as part of Verizon’s Power House in New York City’s Bryant Park. LTE Multicast is a new opportunity for content owners to develop a customized viewing experience for a mass audience. Based on evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS) standards, LTE Multicast efficiently uses spectrum resources as its design allows the same copy of content to be sent to multiple users instead of sending multiple copies of the same content to multiple users.
As a key network partner with Verizon Wireless, Alcatel-Lucent has supplied the underlying 4G LTE network equipment for the demonstration.
Details can be found in Verizon Wireless’ announcement.
