Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting information over an integrated telecommunications and broadcast system comprising a cellular network and a broadcast network with a plurality of broadcast content providers connectable to transmitter/receiver equipment deployed at at least one base station of the cellular network, comprising the steps of: generating a broadcast content by broadcast content providers; connecting the broadcast content providers to an internal IP network for broadcast program distribution; transmitting the broadcast content of the broadcast content providers by means of the internal IP network via the communication links and line transmission equipment of the cellular network; transmitting cellular network information via communication links and line transmission equipment of the cellular network; generating a combined broadcast content information and cellular network information stream for its further transfer to the at least one base station of the cellular network; separating independent streams—the cellular network information stream and the broadcast network information stream—from said combined information stream; and transferring the separated independent information streams to said transmitter/receiver equipment for their further transmission over appropriate independent channels to subscribers of the integrated telecommunications and broadcast system, located in the coverage area of the integrated system; wherein the transmission of said separated independent information streams is performed by means of cellular network signal transmitters, transmitter/receiver unit of said base station and broadcast network signal transmitters that are a part of said transmitter/receiver equipment.
