Modules

Middleware

The Nakolos Middleware enables Android apps of Broadcasters and Content Providers to benefit from 5G Broadcast without the need of a costly and complex integration into their existing app.

  • Standalone for use-case tests and demos
  • Library for commercial use: easy integrable into existing apps from broadcaster and content provider for commercial use
  • Seamless switching between broadband and broadcast as well as broadcast on-demand use-cases
  • Supports for different payload protocols: RTP, HLS, DASH, CMAF
  • Support for FLUTE and ROUTE

Hybrid Connect

The Nakolos Hybrid Connect system allows to easily deploy complex 5G Broadcast-meets-Broadband scenarios including steering of 5G Broadcast cores and allow Broadcasters, Content Providers and Broadcast Network Operators to keep the overview on their expenditures.

  • Consumption report analysis for broadband load monitoring
  • Dynamic provisioning of 5G Broadcast cores for the “Broadcast on-demand” use case
  • Reports and insights for Broadcast Network Operators, Broadcaster and Content Provider

5G BC Core

The core supports common features from different 3GPP releases and acts as content ingest, interface for emergency warning and controller for 5G BC transmitter networks.

  • Consumption report analysis for broadband load monitoring
  • Dynamic provisioning of 5G Broadcast cores for the “Broadcast on-demand” use case
  • Reports and insights for Broadcast Network Operators, Broadcaster and Content ProviderFeMBMS, LTE-based terrestrial broadcast (3GPP Releases 14,16,17), eMBMS (Release 9/12 mixed mode for Android prototype handsets CRD/QRD)
  • Operable in 5G BC standalone or connected mode for broadcast-broadband solutions
  • Runs on-premise or in the cloud
  • Interoperability with different transmitter vendors and emergency warning systems by supporting common 3GPP interfaces: xMB, M1, M2, M3, CAP
  • High availability through redundancy on-premise or in the cloud
  • Support for different payload protocols: RTP, HLS, DASH, CMAF
  • Support for FLUTE
