"Given his extensive career in public broadcasting, Fred's talents will be helpful in our outreach to the public media sector, and his insights will be instrumental as we develop new solutions."

He also spearheaded efforts to bring remote learning applications to students in homes with limited or no broadband connectivity utilizing ATSC 3.0 technology.

"I am thrilled to be supporting the efforts of Triveni Digital. They played a pivotal role in developing the ATSC 3.0 standard and were influential in helping PBS North Carolina create a digital paging system for first responders," said Engel. "Triveni Digital is a smart, savvy organization, with unparalleled experience in ATSC 1.0 and NEXTGEN TV, having served the broadcast industry for over 25 years. I look forward to assisting them in driving new growth going forward."
