Triveni Digital and Device Solutions Inc today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted them a new patent for their novel ATSC 3.0 receiver. The patent number is US 12,464,196 B2.

Device Solutions and Triveni Digital are ATSC 3.0 innovators, and this patent demonstrates how the ATSC 3.0 receiver may be used for emergency alerts therefore improving timeliness and availability of critical, potentially life-saving information.

The patented receiver 1) analyzes the contents of a custom-defined emergency paging dispatch channel (within the ATSC 3.0 broadcast signal), 2) filters data specific to the intended receiver, and 3) extends battery life. This technology solves the long-standing problems of today's emergency pagers by leveraging ATSC 3.0 infrastructure to transmit dispatch data. The result is extended coverage, increased reliability, and improved latency.

Together with key partners Triveni Digital (Mark Corl), PBS-NC (Chris Pandich and Fred Engel), and the First Responder Emerging Technologies Program at the North Carolina Department of Information Technology (Red Grasso), we have demonstrated that ATSC 3.0 datacasting can provide first responders with a secure and effective secondary communication channel. Supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), live tests with firefighters proved the technology increases situational awareness. The system transmits critical emergency paging data over a secure ATSC 3.0 channel, which does not interfere with HD video broadcasts. Our paging receivers and smartphone applications then alert the appropriate responders, complementing their existing radio and cellular technologies," said Tony Sammarco, director, product technology strategy for Device Solutions.

"This is another powerful demonstration of how ATSC 3.0 technology and our nation s resilient broadcast infrastructure can deliver real-world improvements for emergency and first-responder communications, said Mark Simpson, president and CEO at Triveni Digital. It shows how combining Triveni s ATSC 3.0 expertise with specialized knowledge of our partners can achieve breakthrough, mission-critical applications of the new standard."
