Aviwest Collaborates With Hughes Network on Video Signal Delivery

Aviwest, a global video contribution systems provider, is collaborating with Hughes Network Systems to improve delivery of video signals over Inmarsat's Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN), Aviwest said in a news release Tuesday. The Hughes 9211-high data rate (HDR) BGAN satellite terminal will transmit information in real time over an adaptive channel, and available satellite bit rate will increase above the minimum committed information rate level, it said. Aviwest's DMNG PRO video uplink system will compress video content according to network conditions, it said. This solution works for environments that lack Internet connection or have poor 3G or 4G cellular wireless network connections, Aviwest said. The provider will demonstrate a fully integrated system with DMNG PRO and Hughes 9211-HDR at the upcoming NAB Show in Las Vegas.
