Entrepreneur Poised to Leverage NextGen TV to Usher in Wireless 'Cable' Television

摘要

Meet Todd Achilles, president and CEO of Edge Networks. Achilles is a 3.0 pioneer—not in development of the technology at the heart of the powerful new broadcast standard, but in its use. His plan is to provide second- and third-tier markets with an over-the-air alternative to traditional MVPDs like cable TV operators. Leveraging the data throughput capability of ATSC 3.0 and the encoding efficiency of HEVC, Achilles envisions delivering "20 times the capacity of a typical broadcaster today" with a roadmap to expand that in the future.
