LAS VEGAS - Jan. 7, 2019 - PRLog -- BitRouter, a leading provider of software for terrestrial, IP, cable, satellite and mobile receivers, and Airwavz.tv, a full-service multimedia platform company, today announced the availability of BitRouter's ATSC3pro ATSC 3.0 receiver software for Airwavz's ATSC 3.0 RedZone Receiver USB stick.
