The BBC hosted the first British live broadcast on a commercially available 5G network. This morning Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC Technology correspondent, broadcast live from Covent Garden the launch of EE 5G, the UK's first 5G service. To demonstrate the potential of the technology to viewers, the report from him was actually broadcast over the EE 5G network. All four mobile operators plan to launch 5G networks by the end of 2019, offering faster data speeds, improved data speeds, and lower latency for consumers and businesses. The EE network is now active in six major cities in the UK.

Broadcasters have used 4G networks to create content in the past, but they often require multiple connections and lack the capacity and reliability to be a mainstream solution. The features of 5G mean that only one connection is needed and reliability is dramatically improved. 5G promises to reduce the costs and complexity of transmission, reducing the number of cables, cameras, and cameras needed, and expanding the range of creative options. It also allows news correspondents to report events wherever they are. For this latest issue of the BBC, 5G modems were connected to the cameras, while the BBC was also able to test various encryption methods. In the future, the issuers will benefit from the division of the network. This allows operators to effectively create a virtual ring network for a single user, ensuring a minimum level of speed and performance. "This is a great example of how the BBC is experimenting with cutting-edge technology to improve the manufacturing of its programmes," said Matthew Postgate, BBC CTO. "5G is a very exciting area to explore. The internet will play a bigger role in transmission and we innovate in techniques, standards and working methods to make the most of it." The BBC is organizing a trial to see how radio can be transmitted via the BBC's 5G channel in Orkney, while BT Sport has used a pre-commercial 5G network to broadcast the US Cup from Wembley."We are excited to demonstrate the power and innovation that 5G can bring to media and the broadcast industry through our BBC test," said Alex Tempest, general manager of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. big on BT. "Whether it's on the street, in a stadium or on the field, 5G it offers a new dimension capable of providing the speed, efficiency and reliability required by an outdoor transmission. And it gives issuers the ability to deploy equipment quickly and easily, without having to worry about connecting. "
