LAS VEGAS—BitRouter today announced the availability of the Android app version of its ATSC 3.0 software at CES 2022.

The ATV app can be ported to any Android device that supports ATSC tuners and a Dolby AC-4 certified system on a chip (SoC), the company said.

The company’s ATSC3pak Linus-based ATSC 3.0 solution is currently deployed in 15 NextGen TV markets, he said.

“The simultaneous availability of ATV for Android and Linux as well as our prototype data broadcast receiver demonstrates the versatility of our ATSC3pak software,” said Gopal Miglani, president and founder of BitRouter. “Our solution allows manufacturers to target the NextGen TV opportunity with minimal upfront investment.”
