D2M

abbreviationStandard termTelecom & IT

Direct-to-Mobile, a broadcasting technology that sends video or data straight to smartphones.

D2M stands for direct-to-mobile, a transmission architecture allowing multimedia content to be broadcast directly to mobile devices without consuming cellular data bandwidth. It leverages terrestrial broadcast frequencies to deliver live video, alerts, or large files to multiple users simultaneously. This offloads heavy streaming traffic from congested cellular networks during major events.
