Vislink and TVU Networks to launch combined microwave and cellular TVUPack at IBC 04

TVU Networks and Vislink have announced the impending launch of a next-generation TVUPack at IBC 2014. The jointly developed TVUPack is the worlds first portable IP newsgathering solution capable of simultaneously aggregating microwave bandwidth with multiple cellular data connections to deliver unprecedented quality and reliability. The TVUPack is also the first fully-integrated product to emerge from the partnership between TVU Networks and Vislink announced in April, and will be on display in the TVU Networks booth and on the Vislink stand.

As a result of growing demand for highly resilient and portable equipment capable of meeting new standards for mobile cellular transmission, TVU and Vislink have developed a unique joint offering that integrates the TVUPack TM8200 with Vislinks hybrid microwave IP technology. Utilizing TVUs powerful Inverse StatMux IP transmission protocols, the TVUPack is able to combine multiple cellular data connections with Vislinks hybrid microwave IP technology to give broadcasters unrivalled flexibility, letting them transmit HD video simultaneously over cellular and microwave connections with sub-second latency. As a fully integrated IP newsgathering solution, the TVUPack combines best-of-breed cellular and IP microwave transmission technologies into a single mobile lightweight backpack.

Vislink has long been an innovator in video transmission systems, and we are pleased to partner with TVU to provide an innovative new best-of-breed solution, said Mike Payne, CEO of Vislink. This integrated package is the first in the world to combine the best in cellular transmission technology from TVU with Vislinks award-winning microwave uplink solutions. This integrated joint solution enables customers to overcome the inherent limitations of cellular and microwave infrastructure, when they are used alone. The new generation TVUPack combines both infrastructures into a single small backpack and will significantly increase the transmission success rate in extremely challenging conditions. We look forward to working with TVU to provide additional transmission solutions in the future.

Mobile IP newsgathering has become a business critical tool for broadcasters, and we are thrilled to partner with Vislink to deliver a superior hybrid solution that meets the demand for greater resiliency and flexibility. TVU and Vislink have partnered to offer customers the most powerful, robust joint cellular-microwave transmission solution available. TVU offers customers the industrys most comprehensive IP video solutions platform, and we are proud to push the boundaries to deliver robust IP transmissions from more locations than ever before, in even the most challenging bandwidth environments, said Paul Shen, CEO, TVU Networks.
