Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab

Humber Polytechnic has established Canada’s first Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B2C Lab to explore NextGen television and data delivery applications enabled by the new Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 television broadcast standard. The new 3.0 standard is set to replace North America's current ATSC 1.0 standard. The ATSC 3.0 terrestrial broadcast standard runs on an IP (internet protocol) backbone and can integrate with other global data delivery standards, including Wi-Fi and 5G. It offers enhanced audio and visual features for television, and full broadcast mobility and is currently the world's most efficient one-to-many data delivery system.
