Hold onto your smartphones: the future of live broadcasting just leveled up! China Media Group (CMG) has spearheaded a new 5G broadcasting standard approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a UN tech authority. Dubbed ITU-R BT.2550, this game-changing framework promises ultra-fast, reliable live video and audio streaming for global broadcasters—think instant Olympic highlights or concert livestreams without lag!
The standard, officially released Friday, builds on CMG’s 5G experiments during major events—like those viral festival broadcasts you couldn’t scroll past. Europe’s tech experts even jumped in to add their own 5G project insights, proving this is a collaborative win for media innovation.
This marks CMG’s sixth global broadcasting standard, cementing China’s role as a tech trendsetter. Two more proposals—on cloud-based media production and advanced video color tech—are now in the pipeline.
Why care? Faster 5G streaming could mean smoother TikTok live sessions, sharper sports replays, and maybe even hologram concerts (we’re manifesting ). As one ITU delegate put it: 'This isn’t just about better TV—it’s about reimagining storytelling in the AI era.'
