Amsterdam, The Netherlands - Visitors
to IBC 2013 can witness the fastest ever BGAN live streaming for
the first time as Inmarsat and Cobham SATCOM will demonstrate the
broadcasting potential of the new BGAN high data rate streaming
service.
Daily demos will take place at 12:00 and 15:00 on the Inmarsat
stand using the brand new, ultra-portable Cobham SATCOM EXPLORER 710;
the only BGAN high data rate streaming service compatible satcoms
terminal available.
EXPLORER
710 provides streaming rates over 650 kbps out of the box,
when using the new BGAN high data rate streaming service, which is
officially launched at IBC 2013. Available to order at the end of
September 2013, EXPLORER 710 enables the fastest
on-demand video streaming via satellite with guaranteed QoS.
In a forthcoming free software update, EXPLORER 710 will gain the added
ability to bond the signals from multiple terminals via Ethernet
and achieve IP streaming rates on the BGAN high data rate streaming
service of 1 Mbps or even higher.
As the world's smallest and lightest Class 1 BGAN terminal and
the first platform to make use of BGAN high data rate streaming as
standard, the EXPLORER 710 is positioned to
support broadcasters in enhancing the quality of mobile outside
broadcasting.
As well as enabling the fastest BGAN live streaming ever, EXPLORER
710 introduces Smart Phone apps to the world of BGAN
connectivity, enabling users to connect their own devices for voice
calling and connectivity.
In addition to demos on the Inmarsat stand (2.B19), EXPLORER
710 will also be displayed on the Cobham SATCOM stand
(1.F41) during IBC 2013.
