Motorola Solutions, Sonim Demo ATSC 3.0 on Mobile Devices, APTS Notes

America’s Public Television Stations noted Motorola Solutions and Sonim demonstrated Monday at the annual conference of Association of Public Safety Communications Officers in Baltimore, receiving ATSC 3.0 signals with smartphones and tablets. “The next step is getting these Next Gen chips into the mobile devices themselves, and the sooner that happens, the safer and better informed the American people will be,” said APTS CEO Patrick Butler in a news release. NAB CEO Gordon Smith and broadcasters have worried whether phone manufactures would include 3.0 chips (see 1905300063). The demo used chips built by Saankhya Labs.
