The project also has the support of Kathrein, Telefónica Germany and Bayerischer Rundfunk, which is providing two HPHT sites near Munich for field testing.

The use of the HPHT concept will allow broadcasters to distribute video over 5G networks with all the advantages of traditional broadcasting, such as the high-quality levels associated with HDTV transmission, low-latency live content, and the enormous spectrum efficiency and wide coverage. This will enable broadcasters to bring their assets for efficient, high-quality video distribution into the future 5G ecosystem. Content providers will also benefit from 5G broadcasting because it offers their customers improved quality of service and a better overall experience.

With a cell radius of over 60 km in each transmission area, Broadcast 5G offers better and wider coverage for transmitting media content, even in rural areas. This reduces the necessary infrastructure investments, as large areas can be covered with just a few transmitters.
