Sierra Wireless’ IoT expertise and global
carrier relationships enable Mobile Viewpoint to bring their
next-generation 5G mobile video encoder to market quickly
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), a leading IoT
solutions provider, today announced that its EM9190 5G New Radio
(NR) embedded module has been integrated into Mobile Viewpoint’s
new Agile Ultra 5G mobile encoder. Mobile Viewpoint is among the
first companies to bring to market a 5G mobile encoder able to
remotely transmit live 4K Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) video from
sporting, news, and other outside events.
In addition to the EM9190 module itself, Sierra Wireless and its
partner, Alcom electronics, offered Mobile Viewpoint the 5G
expertise, technical support, and global Mobile Network Operators
(MNO) relationships they needed to rapidly integrate the EM9190
module into their encoder and get the encoder quickly certified by
MNOs worldwide.
“A fast and secure 5G module that could be easily integrated
into the Agile Ultra 5G was a key component of our go-to-market
strategy for the encoder. As our trusted partner, Sierra Wireless
provided us with a secure, high-performance module, the integration
support and global carrier relationships we needed to realize this
strategy,” said Michel Bais, Managing Director at Mobile Viewpoint.
“Sierra Wireless helped us meet our aggressive launch timeline for
the Agile Ultra 5G, and deliver our broadcasting and other
customers a secure 5G mobile video encoder that they can start
using today.”
Powered by the EM9190, the Agile Ultra 5G mobile encoder enables
broadcasters, video production companies, first responders, and
security services to remotely manage live 4K UHD video production
from a central location without compromising on video reliability
or quality. This allows them to avoid sending production personnel
and Outside Broadcast (OB) vehicles on-site to events, emergencies,
or other locations, significantly reducing their video production
costs.
CP Communications, a live event production solutions provider
headquartered in St Petersburg, Florida, partnered with Mobile
Viewpoint to test its Agile Ultra 5G mobile encoder in the United
States. The CEO of CP Communications, Kurt Heitmann, thinks 5G will
accelerate the broadcasting market’s use of cellular networks for
remote video production at live events.
“The roll-out of new 5G networks, and introduction of new mobile
encoders like the Sierra Wireless-powered Mobile Viewpoint Agile
Ultra 5G, are going to lead a lot more content creators to adopt
cellular broadcasting solutions,” said Heitmann. “Today, content
creators want to gather high-definition live video content from
everywhere. With 5G they have the bandwidth and latency they need
to remotely stream content from stadiums, city streets, and moving
vehicles back to their control rooms and production facilities.
Thanks to 5G, we are developing remote controlled broadcast
solutions for live motorsport events that were simply not possible
before. 5G is creating new business opportunities for us – it is as
simple as that.”
“5G is rapidly transforming the world of live outdoor video
production and Mobile Viewpoint is at the forefront in driving this
transformation,” said Jim Ryan, Senior Vice President of
Partnerships, Marketing and IoT Solutions at Sierra Wireless. “With
innovative solutions that enable these types of next-generation
video and other IoT applications, Sierra Wireless delivers its
customers the 5G connectivity they need to unlock more value in the
connected economy.”
The EM9190 is currently available globally from Sierra Wireless’
global network of partners.
