TVU networks and USSecurenet Partner to Offer Anytime, Anywhere Live Video Transmission Capabilities
Global and secure BGAN satellite service from satcom market leader is now a fully supported video delivery option on TVU networks' TVUPack
Mountain View, CA – April 11, 2011 – TVU networks, a leading provider of Internet based live broadcast video technology solutions, today announced that the company has joined with USSecurenet to begin offering an integrated satellite communications and live video transmission solution for TVUPackTM, its portable, light weight data broadcasting pack for capturing breaking news in SD or HD. USSecurenet is a premier mobile satcoms and data network operator and one of the largest Inmarsat Distribution Partners in the world. Beginning today, TVU networks will offer custom packages that combine TVUPack with USSecurenet satcom service.
Used by news stations and free lance journalists around the world, TVUPack enables news crews to report live on breaking news from virtually anywhere, including locations that traditional broadcast vans are unable to reach. By supporting an array of on-board wireless devices such as BGAN, 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi, users can capture video in the field and immediately transmit it in broadcast quality SD or HD back to a central newsroom for immediate channel viewing or editing for future broadcast. Bundled with USSecurenet's Inmarsat BGAN streaming service, TVUPack's unique and proprietary signal aggregation technology will help news crews stream live video feed with the best picture quality available in places with weak or no cellular signal strength. USSecurenet uses the rugged, light weight Hughes 9201 BGAN satellite terminal to provide reliable bandwidth in any terrain.
"Video broadcasters often face the challenge of delivering live news or covering live mass audience events at locations that traditional ENG vans are unable to reach. TVUPack addresses this limitation with anywhere and anytime live transmission capabilities using a variety of common data delivery devices, including 3G and 4G air cards, Wi-Fi, and BGAN, " said Paul Shen, CEO of TVU networks. "We are excited to be working with USSecurenet. We wanted to offer our customers a satcom solution for TVUPack from a reliable and well-respected provider that's experienced in serving the industries that we serve."
"We are delighted to have been chosen by TVU networks. As the only American Inmarsat Distribution Partner, we are dedicated to providing the highest level of secure communications for customers across a variety of industries including broadcast media, the US military, first responders, and law enforcement," said Deborah Deffaa, President of USSecurenet. "Pairing our Inmarsat BGAN streaming service with TVUPack will give TVU networks customers the peace-of-mind of proven and reliable secure satellite data transmission wherever it's needed."
