500 MHz, high power, high tower + NextGen broadcast technology
What's old is new again with the high towers and high power of traditional broadcasting combined with new wireless technologies like ATSC 3.0 and 5G MBS. ATSC 3.0 complements broadcasting's advantages of reach and building penetration with a modern multi-dimensional waveform capable of supporting dozens of independently configurable IP streams.
500 MHz, low-cost receiver module for fast, easy installation
Auton's receiver technology will be available in this low-cost and small-size form factor for fast, easy installation in aftermarket vehicles. Once installed, the Auton receiver enables the car to receive the same content as in the home: curated audio and video along with free over-the-air network programming.
500 MHz Broadcast Band Coverage
The 500 MHz broadcast band includes 1758 full power stations, transmitting up to 1 million watts for coverage that can exceed 80 miles depending on terrain. The band also includes 2268 “low power” stations transmitting up to 15 kW for coverage out to 40 miles depending on terrain.
