International ATSC 3.0
A display on the NAB 2024 ATSC booth showing countries engaged with ATSC 3.0. Below are some.
BRAZIL​
The ATSC 3.0 standard received a boost on August 27, 2025 as President Lula of Brazil signed a decree making TV 3.0, using the ATSC 3.0 standard the official TV system of his country. Brazil’s transition will be mandatory, in contrast to the US transition which has been voluntary. Brazil is the world’s seventh most populous country with the world’s eighth largest economy. As consumer electronics manufacturers make TV sets for Brazil, the cost of adding ATSC 3.0 receiver capability will come down, paving the way for other countries to follow.​​
INDIA​
India has many citizens who watch TV primarily on mobile phones. To enhance India’s coming 5G network for massive video use, a unique plan will use ATSC 3.0 as a slice within it. The new service is called Direct to Mobile (D2M) which will enable India's 5G network to offload video to ATSC 3.0 to enhance the 5G network for video distribution and provide free live TV.​​
KOREA​
Korea was the first county in the world to deploy the ATSC 3.0 standard. It occurred in May 2017 in preparation for the 2018 Winter Olympics, enabling Korean Broadcasters to transmit live 4K television from the games. Since then, Korea has become a major development and test center for ATSC 3.0 technology. An analysis of the 2,866 ATSC 3.0 patent families held by Korean companies in 2023 found that 1979, or 69% were developed in Korea.​​
CANADA​
Canada is exploring ATSC 3.0 convergence with 5G to make data delivery more efficient. The Humber College Broadcast-Broadband Convergence (B2C) Lab researches opportunities for ATSC 3.0 to be divided into multiple IP streams to carry television and non-television (data) services simultaneously to both businesses and consumers.
JAMAICA​
Jamaica brings its unique creative culture to their ATSC launch. This 60- second TV spot puts the ATSC 3.0 feature set to a reggae beat! On the practical side, Jamacia and several Caribbean countries are looking to ATSC 3.0 for emergency communications. Countries that experience frequent hurricanes are looking to ATSC 3.0 when hurricanes cause power and telecom outages.
ARGENTINA​
At the October 2025 CaperShow, Argentina's broadcast show, Eduardo Bayo CTO of broadcaster Artear (left), announced the first TV 3.0 trials in Argentina, confirmed that his company is already conducting laboratory transmission tests with the ATSC 3.0 standard, and has plans to begin field tests in March 2026 to coincide with the arrival of the first compatible receivers to the Argentine market.
