Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab

We wrapped up 2024 with the installation of the antenna mast for our main transmitter site at the @HumberPoly Barrett CTI! The new mast means a broader portfolio of industry projects that keep students at the centre of the innovation experience.

Our ATSC 3.0 broadcast test bed antenna mast is installed at Humber's Lakeshore site. Our upcoming project will connect all the broadcast transmission towers to form an IP and 5G core-based Inter-Tower Communications Network (ITCN). Next stop: Barrett CTI!

Our world-class ATSC 3.0 broadcast test bed covering the Toronto region is being upgraded with new permanent antenna masts. First mast is going up at @HumberPoly Centre for Skilled Trades and Technology on Carrier Dr. Barrett CTI and Lakeshore sites are up next!

.@humberpoly’s B²C Lab and @cityofcalgary are partnering to launch an ATSC 3.0 municipal use project to explore how the technology can improve municipal services, increase connectivity and drive impact. Read more in Humber Today: bit.ly/49jVSmA @Humber_Research

The Eagle has Landed! Humber's ATSC 3.0 transmitter rack has arrived safe and sound at Harvard Media broadcast tower in the @ City of Calgary! Next steps: Electrical and Fiber tie-ins.

We had the honour of hosting Deputy Minister Bernie Derible and his team from Emergency Management Ontario for a presentation on ATSC 3.0 emergency and critical communications applications. @HumberPoly looks forward to working with EMO to explore the vast potential of ATSC 3.0!

The City of Calgary and @Humber_B2C_Lab are partnering on North America’s first ATSC 3.0 municipal project! This tech will enhance City services, improve emergency alerts, and boost access to education and healthcare. Read more: ow.ly/iKWH50TZKE6

Visited the ⁦⁦⁦@Humber_B2C_Lab⁩, North America's first lab for #Broadcast #Broadband convergence, equipped with ATSC 3.0 & 5G tech. A pioneering space for antenna, wireless device & prototype R&D. Thrilled to see the future of broadcasting and data delivery up close!

BPS is a system of estimating time and position using ATSC 3.0 broadcast signals. At our BPS Seminar, experts explained how the technology works and why BPS makes a great complementary system to GPS. youtube.com/watch?v=Nda4wy…

GPS disruptions could bring US & Canadian infrastructure to a standstill. This panel at our BPS Seminar explored the risks with experts from Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation, Hexagon, York University, Govt of Canada PNT Office & U.S. DOT. ow.ly/OqL950QRBYP

Disruptions to GPS have the potential to bring US and Canadian infrastructure, including energy grids, wireless communications, financial systems and transportation, to a standstill. Learn how ATSC 3.0-based BPS can serve as a potential resilient solution: ow.ly/upJE50QC61B
