Using Broadcast TV to Deliver Multicast Data Streams for IoT Applications
<p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>Host Ryan Carlson talks with Conrad Clemson, CEO of EdgeBeam Wireless, about using broadcast TV (ATSC) signals to deliver large downstream data payloads as efficient multicast—sending one transmission to reach many endpoints—while using 4G/5G with a Soracom eSIM for control, acknowledgments, retransmits, and security. Conrad contrasts broadcast tower coverage and capital efficiency with cellular’s dense tower topology, emphasizing applications where many devices need the same content: digital signage fleets, software/map updates for cars, video distribution, LLM/model updates, and RTK GPS correction data for higher-precision navigation. Use of dual-r...
