TPEG2 - Wide Area Broadcast

Description:

This solution is used within Australia, Canada, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with TPEG2 with those for C-X: Wide Area Broadcast. The TPEG2 standards include upper-layer standards required to support multi-modal information services.. The C-X: Wide Area Broadcast standards include lower-layer standards that support one entity broadcasting information to all wireless devices over an area that covers at least a metropolitan area without any expectation of acknowledgement or response; security is provided by the upper-layers.

Solution Issues:

Default Severity Name Type Description
True Low Ubiquitous broadcast technology SubNet Gap With the continual enhancement of broadcast technologies and a mixture of free and subscriber-based systems, it is difficult to identify any single technology that can be used to reliably reach the bulk of drivers in a timely manner.
True Medium Secure data access not provided Security Gap The solution does not define rules on how the application entity authenticates requests to accept or provide data.
True Medium Still under development Standardization Gap A draft of the standard has been developed by the working group, but it was still under development at the time this analysis was performed.
