Jio has enabled the groundbreaking LTE-Broadcast (eMBMS) technology which work with your Jio TV and if your android phone is compatible you can install the JioClearcast which is JioMediaWare service for Jio TV.  Readers who are still confused about LTE-Broadcast (eMBMS) or JioMediaWare, lets explain further

What is eMBMS LTE?

Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service. ... The specification is referred to as Evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (eMBMS) when transmissions are delivered through an LTE (Long Term Evolution) network. eMBMS is also known as LTE Broadcast.

What is LTE broadcast?

LTE Broadcast is the most efficient mechanism to distribute the same content to many users, and is an important solution to address the 1000x data challenge. Initially focusing on venue casting, LTE Broadcast can address many other media distributions such as software updates and breaking news.


What is embms?

eMBMS offers LTE service providers an effective way to lower cost per bit when delivering the same content simultaneously to multiple end users.  As the multicast standard for Long Term Evolution (LTE), Evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS) allows multimedia content to be sent once and received by many end users. This “one-to-many” distribution mode can be a valuable alternative to unicast when a large number of users are interested in the same content.

For example, during live streaming of IPL, unicast must send the same video to every user individually. But multicast takes advantage of the inherent broadcast qualities of wireless networks to send the video only once to reach an equal number of end users.

JioMediaWare & JioMediaWareX are the content which is hosted and distributed eMBMS which work along with Jio TV.  Once these mobile apps are installed you may not see them in the apps or the home screen however it would get installed and configured with Jio TV app.  Do note not all the phone has the options of having this function as this is Processor / Chipset depended and the Operating System. 

Which Chipset supports the embms or which android chipset/device is supported?

eMBMS Chipsets

The range of chipsets available that can support eMBMS has been steadily growing. The latest entries to the market came from MediaTek, which has added eMBMS capability to its MT6739 chipset that can be used in Android OS powered phones; and from Qualcomm, which has launched the Snapdragon 835 containing the X16 LTE modem. GSA has now identified 37 different commercial mobile processors / platforms and 8 commercial cellular modems that come with eMBMS support (though they will not all support the same eMBMS feature sets and functionalities). We are also aware of one additional pre-commercial mobile processor/platform.

Google has also added Support for eMBMS for Reduced Mobile Network Congestion. Latest additions to AOSP, Google has added eMBMS support. eMBMS stands for Evolved Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service, and is also known as LTE Broadcast. This technology is present in the Snapdragon 800 series and later, and Google is now adding full support for the service. This service is hugely beneficial when many people are likely to want to watch or view the same content within a region or network. A situation it may be used in, for example, is wanting to broadcast different angles of a live event. Rather than streaming individual videos to each user (unicast), the same video streams are sent to everyone at the same time and the users themselves choose (multicast).
