Abstract

Mobile Broadband System (MBS) is a wireless cellular network capable of carrying digital signals at bit rates sufficient for digital video, including compressed HDTV. The network is being developed in European collaborative RACE Project 2067 with the aim to extend the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) to mobile users. MBS potentially offers broadcasters a public system to obtain dial-up high bit-rate connections for electronic news gathering. Also, broadcasters could set up their own cellular systems at outside broadcasts and in studios in order to make greater use of radio-cameras and radio-microphones. The benefit of using MBS-compatible hardware is the economics of scale expected from its introduction as a public network.
