Polkomtel carried out the first test of LTE Broadcast technology in Poland on August 30, streaming the opening game of the 2014 World Volleyball Championship between Poland and Serbia to 300 selected guests and journalists at Warsaw’s National Stadium. Ericsson supplied its LTE Broadcast solution. A total of 300 guests were given LTE Broadcast-enabled mobile devices with a pre-configured application to watch live streaming of the game.
Valter D’Avino, Head of Ericsson’s Region Western and Central Europe, says: “Ericsson has been at the forefront of developing and implementing this technology around the world, and it has great potential to grow much further with a wide range of use cases: for example, to send updates and content to connected cars, digital signage or billing boards, as well as public safety and emergency broadcast services.”
