D2M networking, which is being discussed a lot as device-to-metaverse networking. The Central Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and IIT Kanpur have started the work. Telecom operators, chip manufacturers, network providers and handset makers are opposing this. Because their data revenue is sure to be affected by D2M. 80% of their traffic comes from videos.
Let us know what D2M networking is? How does it work?
What is D2M networking?
D2M networking, or device-to-metaverse networking, is a new type of networking that allows devices to connect to each other in the metaverse. It allows devices to work together, communicate, and share data, creating a more complete metaverse.
D2M Networking offers several key benefits:
- Efficient Connectivity: D2M enables devices to connect more efficiently, resulting in faster data transfer and reduced network load. This enhances overall network performance.
- Enhanced Security: D2M networking employ strong security protocols, ensuring a secure environment for device connections. This includes robust measures for device identification and authentication.
- Autonomous Functionality: D2M facilitate greater autonomy for networking devices. This means devices can communicate more independently, fostering seamless interactions and reducing the need for constant centralized control.
How does D2M networking work?
- Hybrid Technology: D2M networking combines elements of broadband and broadcast technologies.
- FM Radio Technology: It utilizes the technology employed in FM radio broadcasting.
- Enhanced Speed and Capacity: D2M provides the higher speeds and increased capacity characteristic of broadband networks.
- Radio Frequency Communication: Devices in D2M networking communicate with each other using radio frequencies.
- Frequency Band: The 526–582-megahertz band is designated for D2M networking, repurposing the spectrum currently used for TV transmitters.
- Mixture of Broadband and Broadcast: This approach ensures a balance between the widespread coverage associated with broadcast and the high-speed capabilities of broadband.
Will be able to watch content for free
- IIT Kanpur White Paper: Published a white paper on D2M transmission and 5G convergence in June.
- Content Accessibility: D2M network enables broadcasters to offer a variety of content for free.
Regional Services: Allows the provision of regional TV and radio services, catering to localized audiences. - Educational Material: D2M facilitates the transmission of educational content, enhancing accessibility to learning resources.
- Emergency Alert System: Provides a platform for the dissemination of emergency alerts and disaster-related information.
- Offline Apps: D2M supports video and data-powered apps that can operate without an internet connection.
- Cost-Effective: These services and apps are designed to be available at a low cost, promoting affordability and accessibility.
