The Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) said it held a joint workshop in Seoul on July 22 to review development directions for broadcast technology in the AI era and discuss international standardisation strategies for next-generation services. About 70 participants from government, broadcasters, research institutes and companies attended. Presentations covered generative AI in production and services, a “Beyond TV” vision, and related platform and broadcast technologies. Attendees also shared Brazil’s TV 3.0 trends using ATSC 3.0.

Low-earth-orbit satellite communications aim to extend network coverage to areas beyond terrestrial infrastructure, including mountains, islands, open seas and the sky. Unlike geostationary satellites at about 36,000 km altitude, low-earth-orbit satellites operate at about 200 to 2,000 km, reducing latency but requiring large constellations. South Korea has approved cross-border supply deals involving Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb. The government targets an independent network by 2035 and plans a 300 billion won R&D programme by 2030.
