WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2013 – The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) today announced the formation of new Implementation Teams for two new emerging standards – ATSC 2.0 and the Mobile Emergency Alert System (M-EAS).
"Today’s announcement is a significant step in the move to expand the capabilities of ATSC broadcast TV. We want to keep the ATSC standard relevant and up-to-date for broadcasters and consumer device manufacturers. The introduction of Implementation Teams for both ATSC 2.0 and M-EAS underscores our progress and will help drive next-generation technologies toward marketplace introduction," said ATSC President Mark Richer.
Composed of representatives from companies developing enhancements to digital TV broadcast standards, the new Implementation Teams will pursue a wide range of initiatives that may include market studies, prototype development, simulations, demonstrations, interoperability "plugfest" testing, field trials, compliance, certification, branding, marketing and promotion, as well as further standards recommendations to ATSC.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Enhanced Alerts Add Rich Media Video, Audio, Maps and More To Mobile DTV Signals, Avoiding Cell Phone System Overload
WASHINGTON, June 12, 2012 – The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) has begun to standardize an all-new broadcast emergency alert system as an addition to the ATSC A/153 Mobile Digital TV standard, making it possible for future viewers to receive more than just text alerts when dangerous weather or other emergency conditions threaten public safety.
The Mobile Emergency Alert System (M-EAS) enhancements to the A/153 standard will provide capabilities for delivering multimedia alerts (utilizing video, audio, text, and graphics) to mobile DTV-equipped cellphones, tablets, laptops, netbooks and in-car navigation systems. M-EAS requires no additional spectrum and is an additional use of existing TV transmitters and towers.
"The ability to reach millions of people with a single transmission avoids the chronic congestion of other communications networks during emergencies. This inherent scalability always has been one of the biggest public service benefits of broadcasting in times of emergencies. And, at this stage of mobile DTV’s evolution, we believe the time is right to standardize mobile emergency alerts. We’re moving ahead with a proposal to include the methodology for providing emergency information to mobile/personal/handheld TV receivers," said ATSC President Mark Richer.
