“A loss of GPS for 90 days could cost over $1 billion per day.”
- NAB 2025 BPS Session
Avateq was honoured to participate in the Advancing Public Safety: Emergency Management Community Symposium hosted by Humber Polytechnic - a meaningful step forward for ATSC 3.0 in Canada, across North America, and beyond.
The event brought together emergency service professionals, broadcasters, and infrastructure leaders to explore the Broadcast Positioning System (BPS) can safeguard and improve critical systems.
BPS is a groundbreaking timing and positioning solution built on the ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard. The technology is highly resistant to jamming and outages, delivering nanosecond-level accuracy using television signals—even when traditional networks fail.
As highlighted at the NAB 2025 session, losing GPS isn't just inconvenient - it could cost the economy over $1 billion per day. In emergency situations, that kind of vulnerability can be catastrophic. BPS offers a powerful alternative.
At Humber, we demonstrated how BPS supports:
-
Resilient time synchronization
-
Reliable emergency communications
-
Scalable nationwide deployment via ATSC 3.0
“BPS could be NextGen TV’s first major breakthrough.”
- Doug Lung, TV Technology
We’re proud to be part of this innovation - and we’re just getting started.
Thank you to Humber, our partners, and the emergency management community for helping shape the future of resilient infrastructure.
