Firmware update for miniCASTER

Firmware update for miniCASTER miniCASTER Team releases the first official firmware update

Unterfoehring, 13 January 2012 -Happy faces and satisfied customers are the result of the first official firmware release. It was the perfect start into 2012 from the miniCASTER teams perspective. A few weeks after the launch date for worldwide shipping, the miniCASTER developer team successfully finished working on a new version of miniCASTER s firmware in order to solve some minor problems which were reported by customers

Amongst multiple minor improvements miniCASTER users will benefit from two main features:

1) Simplified profile management: Operators can now edit and create profiles directly from their device profile view. These profiles will also be made available on the device immediately.

2) User management: Operators can now create multiple users for their Repository Service account. This will enable them to limit certain users of the interface to certain functions and also entitle them to their own user-ID and Password. These users will also be reflected in the local browserbased interface starting from firmware 1.1.5.

Very important is the fact, that with the 1.1.5 release the 3G support is finally officially available. Several 3G sticks have been certified by the team and are now strongly recommended:

The easiest way to download the latest firmware 1.1.5 is to connect the device to the remote management platform@my.minicaster.com. This enables Operators to download and install the firmware the fastes way.

Michael Westphal, CEO: 3G is a extraordinary important broadcasting scenario for many of our clients and target groups. Therefore I am all excited, that finally miniCASTER now works via 3G. Me and my team are very happy that miniCASTER is now even better and more robust after having installed the latest firmware version. And there are more exciting things to come in the very near future.
