5G RuralFirst: Broadcast radio use case completion reports

As part of the 5G RuralFirst project, we have been working on a 5G Broadcast Radio trial, testing 4G/5G broadcast to deliver live radio services. The delivery of radio is of particular interest in the context of 5G since radio is a naturally mobile medium and a significant proportion of radio listening is in vehicles and on the move.

The project ran from June 2018 until the end of September 2019.

This white paper outlines the work done in the project and the results obtained in the form of BBC inputs to the use case completion reports that were written to track contributions to the work of the project.
