Now you will soon be able to watch your favorite movies and shows on OTT platforms even without internet. The government is working on a technique for this. With the advent of this new technology, users will be able to download multimedia content directly to their mobile phones without an active internet connection. The name of this technology will be Direct to Mobile (D2M). With the help of this, the government will be helped in disaster management along with providing important information directly to the citizens, issuing emergency alerts, refuting fake news.
The Department of Technology (DoT) has done a study. With the help of this, that spectrum band has been detected, which will help in providing broadcast services directly to the users’ smartphones. In September, IIT Kanpur teamed up with public broadcaster Prasar Bharati to test the potential of this D2M technology. This gave proof of this concept.
What is D to M technology?
Direct to mobile ie D2M technology is currently being worked on. And it will take three to four years to make it available to the people. This new technology works similar to FM radio and will use a receiver to access radio frequencies, which will be included in the device.
OTT platforms can use this D2M technology to provide multimedia content to mobile phones. Prasar Bharati currently uses the 526-582 MHz band for TV broadcasting. This band will work for both mobile and broadcast services.
Why will this technology be important for users?
With the help of this technology, smartphone users will be able to watch multimedia content on the OTT platform without using their mobile data. This will reduce the cost of customers on mobile data. With this, people living in rural areas will also be helped, where there is usually a problem in the availability of internet. In areas where internet access is limited or very less, people will be able to watch video content with the help of this new technology.
Apart from this, with the help of D to M technology, students living in rural areas will also be helped in studies. After the introduction of this technology, farmers will be able to get information about weather forecast and different farming practices without internet.
