The LTE Broadcast Tennis app is an off-line app for tablets and smartphones and demonstrates the capability of LTE Broadcast, from an end user perspective. It can be supposed that the viewing experience can be at the live event or other location. It can be used as a platform when discussing new business models with wireless operators and broadcasters.

The App puts you, the user, in control of the viewing experience allowing you to choose from three different live matches and four different camera angles. In addition there is the “Hawkeye” view allowing you to see if a ball was in or out as well as detailed stats on the right-hand side.

The power of LTE Broadcast will ensure that the viewer always has great quality, using the new encoding standards, on the content and without any buffering. Ericsson’s LTE Broadcast solution is set to transform the costs and efficiency of delivering high quality TV and video over mobile networks. Ericsson’s unique ability to combine new technologies such as HEVC, MPEG DASH and eMBMS makes it the ideal partner for the deployment of new media services over Telco and mobile networks. Ericsson SVP 5500 is the world’s first real-time HEVC encoder for mobile applications.
