Broadcast Tech & Engineering News – Humber B2C Lab partners with City of Calgary

The City of Calgary and Humber Polytechnic’s Broadcast-Broadband Convergence B²C Lab have entered into a multi-year collaboration to launch North America’s first ATSC 3.0 municipal use project. The partnership will explore how ATSC 3.0 broadcast tech can improve city services by enhancing efficiency for a more connected Calgary. The ATSC 3.0 municipal use project will design, build, and test over-the-air data casting solutions with applications including: secure and improved communication for emergency responder networks, targeted public emergency alerting, dynamic digital municipal signage, remote education access, and timing and navigation solutions in the event of GPS disruption. The initial phase of the project will involve experimental broadcasts using a single transmitter installed at the Harvard Media broadcast tower in Calgary, directly connected to Humber’s B²C Lab in Toronto. Humber staff and students will oversee the implementation of applications, signal processing, and data transmission live from Toronto to Calgary.
