Leading Thai Broadcaster Selects TVUPack Mobile Cellular Uplink Solutions

BBTV Channel 7 Expands Live Broadcast Capabilities to Deliver Video From More Locations with TVUPack 3G/4G/LTE Solutions

(Mountain View, CA - June 11, 2013 ) - the global technology leader in live mobile electronic newsgathering (ENG) solutions, today announced that BBTV Channel 7 has selected TVUPack mobile cellular uplink solutions to expand its live broadcast capabilities.

As one of the largest national broadcasters in Thailand, BBTV Channel 7 has become increasingly reliant on the ability to provide live coverage of important news and events to its viewers. Over the past year, BBTV Channel 7 began testing a number of cellular uplink solutions in order to expand its live broadcast capabilities. After an exhaustive evaluation process of a number of different cellular uplink products, BBTV Channel 7 selected TVUPack because of its portability, ease of use, flexibility and superior picture quality.

For BBTV Channel 7, TVUPack has significantly expanded the broadcasters ability to deliver live video from more places.

We operate in a highly competitive market, and TVUPack gives us the edge, enabling us to report breaking news faster. Moreover, the TVUPack is not only easy to operate, but it's easy to move between locations allowing for lightning fast setup and teardown during our live shots, said Mr. Tassikorn Chalitpipul, News Department, BBTV Channel 7. Whether it be a political disturbance or a tsunami, TVUPack's portability lets us report the news in every environment, no matter the location. The ability to broadcast the news from on-location before anyone else has given us a tremendous competitive advantage.

Another advantage for BBTV Channel 7 is TVUPacks ability to give field crews more flexibility. With TVUPack we can also use its store and forward functionality that enables our reporters to shoot and edit several packages in the field and use the aggregated data connections to send finished stories back to our server, explained Chalitpipul.

TVUPack has also provided BBTV Channel 7 with a cost-effective solution to cover news outside of Thailand. We first used the TVUPack as we were covering the U.S. presidential elections, and we were able to broadcast live from the United States to Thailand for a fraction of the cost of a satellite truck, said Chalitpipul. On top of that, the TVUPack is so portable, versatile and easy to use that we feel we can go live from just about anywhere.

Already in use by hundreds of leading broadcast organizations around the world, the TVUPack family of products gives broadcasters satellite and microwave TV truck functionality in a lightweight, portable and untethered form. TVUPack is the original one button operation backpack, is simple to use and provides broadcasters with low-latency, HD-quality signal that enables them to broadcast live at any time and from any location. The TVUPack family of products has been used to deliver professional-quality live HD footage of a number of important events around the world including the World Cup, the London Olympics, U.S. presidential elections, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2013 Papal conclave.
