With some 25 industry experts on hand, panel sessions will address ATSC 3.0 retail readiness for consumer receivers, the expansion of ATSC 3.0 into core network technologies, how next-generation broadcasting is forging new collaborative efforts, how U.S. cable operators are readying for the new broadcast standard, and what steps broadcasters are taking as ATSC 3.0 expands beyond test markets to reach three-quarters of U.S. households by the end of next year,” said Madeleine Noland, President of ATSC.
“We are including a special session on the potential for integration of ATSC 3.0 in India,” Noland added.
