How AT&T will deliver TV (and more) over crowded LTE
During the first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship, AT&T showed off a working demo of a new version of its Long-Term Evolution network: LTE Broadcast. With this, the wireless carrier is hoping to alleviate the congestion problems consumers face when they are in highly crowded places -- such as professional sports stadiums. AT&T's been working on LTE Broadcast for years, but until now has shared few details about it. In 2013, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said that the company was "all about architecting networks to deliver video," pointing out that the technology would be "mature in scale within the three-year time horizon." We're not quite there yet, but what I saw on Monday leaves me hopeful for the future of smooth, buffer-free television over LTE. #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-23786{display:none;} .cke_show_borders #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-23786, #postcontentcontainer #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-23786{width:570px;display:block;}
