Ericsson and Polish telecom operator Polkomtel successfully carried out the test of LTE Broadcast technology in Poland on August 30, streaming the opening game of the 2014 World Volleyball Championship to 300 selected guests and journalists at Warsaw's National Stadium.

The test group was provided with 300 LTE Broadcast-enabled mobile devices with a pre-configured application to watch live streaming of the game. The whole event lasted for about four hours and the trial was well received by the test group, with a high-quality video and viewing experience.

According to Ericsson, its LTE Broadcast solution enables new revenue models for premium content and efficiently utilizes LTE spectrum and network resources. Unique content can be delivered simultaneously to a virtually unlimited number of subscribers.

LTE is currently available to 66.7percent of the country's population.
