German technology company Rohde & Schwarz will showcase its latest 5G Broadcast technology and innovations at Mobile World Congress 2025 (MWC25) in Barcelona, Spain, featuring a live demo in hall 5 at stand 5A80.
The live demo will combine an end-to-end 5G Broadcast solution with the first available off-the-shelf mobile devices from Motorola Mobility, the motorola razr 50 ultra, featuring minor software modifications to support 5G Broadcast. This synergy enables a variety of new multimedia services with lower latency and guaranteed Quality of Service, thus improving the overall Consumer Quality of Experience, according to Rohde & Schwarz.
“Consumer behaviour in smartphone media consumption is shifting, and Motorola, in collaboration with Rohde & Schwarz, is exploring the integration of advanced 5G Broadcast technology into pocketable devices like the motorola razr, potentially redefining mobile content engagement with zero-rated content,” said Mohammed Abdul-Gaffoor, Head of Motorola’s 312 Innovation Labs. “This technology offers benefits beyond mobile entertainment, enhancing emergency communication by delivering vital information across vast areas, even during disasters. Additionally, it has a low carbon footprint and can improve battery efficiency.”
5G Broadcast comes with a simplified and flat infrastructure having a minimum impact on the environment with minimum CO2 emissions and lowering the barrier for consumers to access zero-rated content with longer battery lifetime.
“We are pleased to team up with Motorola Mobility to demonstrate consumer benefits while using 5G Broadcast,” added Mohamed Aziz Taga, Business Development Manager, Rohde & Schwarz, Broadcast Applications. “The joint collaboration underlines the technology’s capability in enhancing the consumer experience with rich multimedia offerings and guaranteed services.”
In a significant step towards commercialization, the 5G Broadcast Strategic Task Force (5BSTF) – comprising TDF (France), Media Broadcast (Germany), Rohde & Schwarz (Germany), Cordiant Capital (UK), Emitel (Poland), CRA (Czech Republic), BTCO (Belgium) and RAI (Italy) is driving the development of a joint commercial roadmap across six European markets representing more than 270 million people. To discuss the latest developments, executive representatives from the 5BSTF will be present at the Rohde & Schwarz booth (5A80) during MWC 2025, offering an opportunity for attendees to engage with the task force.
