GSA Launches New LTE Broadcast Report, calls for inputs to new survey
GSA is undertaking new research into the development of LTE Broadcast based on eMBMS technology and appropriate video compression and transport technologies. We have commissioned Innovation Observatory – an independent analyst company – to carry out a programme of surveys and discussions with relevant individuals and organisations. The first stage of the research is an online survey of the GSA community (operators, vendors, industry experts and others), and we would very much appreciate your help. If you can spare around 10 minutes, please help us by completing the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LTEB-W We will provide you…
