The company has used DVB solutions for more than two decades and continues to pay close attention to where new DVB technology is heading, with a view to identifying future opportunities to provide affordable digital TV, especially to viewers in developing countries.
DVB World is being held in Valencia between 9 and 11 March. The programme includes sessions delivered in partnership with the DASH Industry Forum and the Ultra HD Forum, alongside sessions focused on DVB-I, the evolution of broadcast technology, and 5G.
