...robust, high performance hybrid solution for live video transmission in diverse locations. As part of the integration, LiveU’s professional-grade LU70 backpack will support the most advanced SATCOM BGAN EXPLORER terminal product-line, including the newly-announced EXPLORER 710 that will be launched in September 2013. For the first time, camera operators will be able to control all BGAN interfaces locally via the LU70 interface, enabling them easily to switch between satellite and cellular connectivity based on the available network conditions. The BGANs will also be able to be controlled remotely via the LiveU Center web interface, enabling news operators to view and manage live transmissions directly from the studio.

The hybrid Cobham SATCOM/LiveU solution is incorporated into the LiveU ecosystem by LiveU’s unified management platform, LiveU Total™, enabling control rooms to manage multiple video feeds from LiveU units operating in diverse locations. EXPLORER from Cobham SATCOM is the chosen series of satellite terminals to harness the power of Inmarsat BGAN, thanks to its inherent reliability, compact form and incredible ease of use. EXPLORER terminals are designed to withstand even the most extreme environmental conditions and provide instant broadband access regardless of time and place.

Cobham SATCOM and LiveU are presenting their full range of solutions at the 2013 NAB Show®, April 8-11, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, at their respective booths: Cobham SATCOM #OE1100 / LiveU #SU5511.
