ATSC continues to raise awareness of the suite of ATSC 3.0 standards – both in the U.S. and abroad. This fall, ATSC members have been evangelists for Next Gen TV implementation, engaging with broadcasters, technology firms and policymakers around the world, from the IEEE Broadcast Symposium in Hartford, Conn., to NAB New York to the India Mobile Congress in New Delhi.

Todd Achilles is a “longtime wireless guy” who has lived through multiple generations of mobile phone technology.  Now based in Idaho, the Edge Networks President & CEO applied and won approval from the FCC to launch two ATSC 3.0 stations in the Boise market a few months ago, and the stations are already on-the-air with test signals.

In 2018, ATSC executed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI), India’s telecommunications standards development organization, with a plan to forge a strong relationship of sharing ideas and working together on common goals. October’s TSDSI conference within the India Mobile Congress is the latest example of our collaboration.

As we prepare to gather with families and friends for Thanksgiving, we pause to give thanks to the hundreds of members of the extended ATSC family who contribute their time and talents to our work.
