Television broadcasters utilising live mobile video streaming technology may soon see their operations enhanced. The BGAN X-Stream from Inmarsat is to use mobile satellite communications with a promise of streaming data rates from a minimum of 384kbps to around 450kbps. Inmarsat say that there is no need for external antenna or any additional hardware to access the new premium IP streaming service. Drew Brandy, head of land mobile services at Inmarsat, commented: "We developed BGAN X-Stream in response to demands from broadcasters. "This enhancement represents an increase in BGAN's streaming rate of at least 50 per cent. It means that we can meet the demand for higher guaranteed data rates, and offer a service that moves closer to broadcast quality." The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Technology and Engineering Awards awarded newscaster CNN an Emmy for its BGAN-based digital newsgathering solution.  |
