You heard right as now the central government is working on a revolutionary technology that will allow users to watch live TV channels on their mobiles without using any internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D2M Technology In Smartphones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are talking about direct-to-mobile (D2M) technology here which is currently being tested.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is going to be a home-grown technology and its trials will soon be held in 19 cities in the country, said Apurva Chandra, Information and Broadcasting Secretary while addressing a broadcasting summit on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, pilot projects to test the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/feature\/direct-to-mobile-all-about-latest-tech-that-works-without-internet-sim-4874206\">D2M technology<\/a> were performed in Bengaluru, Kartavya Path and Noida last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the use of D2M technology, one can transmit multimedia content to consumers&#8217; smartphones, that too without requiring any active internet connection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Communications has listed all the versatile features of D2M technology including mobile-centric and seamless content delivery, hybrid broadcast, real-time and on-demand content and interactive services in a letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Does It Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a traditional setting, this technology has been utilized in issuing emergency alerts and also assisting in disaster management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically,&nbsp; using D2M, information can be directly delivered on the mobile phone of users without straining network bandwidth, said the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, a shift to D2M would unclog the 5G networks, noted Mr Chandra in his address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to operations, the D2M technology works similar to FM radio, where a receiver gets the transmitted signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again it is similar to direct-to-home (DTH) broadcasting where a dish antenna receives broadcast signals directly from satellites and transmits them to a receiver, called a set-top box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, mobile devices do not support D2M technology, as noted in a paper titled &#8216;D2M Broadcast 5G Broadband Convergence Roadmap for India&#8217;, which was&nbsp; published by IIT Kanpur in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, a separate baseband processing unit, along with an antenna, low-noise amplifiers, baseband filters and a receiver will be required to make these devices compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating all these parts is expected to significantly increase smartphone costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides this, it could also potentially impact the current architecture for LTE and 5G networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The D2M network will operate in the 526MHz-582MHz band, requiring larger antennas that may pose integration challenges within the current smartphone design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gktoday.in\/what-is-direct-to-mobile-d2m-technology\/\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How about watching live TV channels on your smartphone that too without an internet connection?
