NextGen TV, or ATSC 3.0, is the new television standard being rolled out by local broadcasters to communities across the U.S. and other parts of the world. |
Because it is based on Internet Protocol, the same technology that powers the Internet, it can work with the Internet to offer a variety of new emergency services. Join our July 19 webinar to learn how NextGen TV will support emergency managers in their role to alert and warn the public.
Our webinar presenters
Pete Sockett is Director of Engineering and Operations at Capitol Broadcasting Company. He works regularly with local emergency managers as Co-chair of the North Carolina State Emergency Communications Committee.
