On October 14, ATSC 3.0 received a 2026 Technology & Engineering Emmy® Award from NATAS. Over the last 15 years, Fraunhofer IIS has contributed key technologies to this standard, including MPEG-H Audio, Next Generation Audio (NGA) concepts, and related transport and signaling technologies. MPEG-H Audio is already used commercially every day in ATSC 3.0 services in South Korea and Brazil.
