At the 2016 NAB Show, GatesAir continues its legacy of presenting educational thought leadership papers on trends and developments connected to over-the-air TV and radio broadcasting. It is just one of many ways that GatesAir Connects What's Next for broadcasters worldwide.
From Saturday through Tuesday, GatesAir executives and technologists will present nine papers as part of the Broadcast Engineering Conference. Topics include how the TV spectrum repack will affect both television and radio broadcasters, including RF plant preparations and an FCC spectrum auction update. Additionally, GatesAir thought leaders will present four papers around the next-generation ATSC 3.0 DTV standard, including advanced emergency alerting and an engineering focus on physical layer testing in the field. These are just some of the highlights.
