d2m Technology: In order to enable people to watch live TV channels on their cellphones without an internet connection, the central government is developing a groundbreaking new technology. This technique is being tested and is known as direct-to-mobile (D2M). Speaking at a broadcasting summit on Tuesday, Information and Broadcasting Secretary Apurva Chandra announced that trials for the homegrown technology would shortly take place in 19 locations.
What is d2m Technology:?
Video, audio, and data signals are sent to mobile phones and smart devices via D2M technology, which makes use of certain frequencies and current land-based communication infrastructures. It has long been employed in disaster relief efforts and the issuance of emergency notifications.
Users will be able to view live TV channels on their cellphones without an internet connection thanks to technology that is now being tested by the central government.
With Tejas Networks-owned wireless communication and semiconductor solutions provider Saankhya Labs, the government intends to launch a D2M technology pilot project in 19 cities.
How will it benefit users?
When it is put into practice, users will not only be able to stream video content—live channels, sports, etc.—without requiring a SIM card on their phones, but they will also be able to receive social services, public safety alerts, and emergency notifications without being dependent on telecom networks. Additionally, the technology will help close the digital gap in the nation and bring educational content to remote areas.
However, Because the D2M network would operate in the 526MHz–582MHz band, larger antennas will be needed, which could provide integration issues with the way smartphones are currently designed.
