Vislink and Mobile Viewpoint have recently launched Vislink Connect. This is a service that provides transmissions for live video production across bonded cellular conections. The service is only available to US customers. It is designed for live broadcast and sports production.

The service provides all-IP based workflows for REMI production, hardware in a single-box solution, different data plans to adapt to different budgets, real-time usage monitoring using a purpose-built management portal and 24/7 dedicated worldwide support.

Since acquiring Mobile Viewpoint some time ago, Vislink has moved quickly to consolidate the operations of the two organizations. A key has been the integration of their respective product lines across interoperability testing and other shared engineering initiatives. The announcement of Vislink Connect represents he first jointly-developed product by the combined companies.

“We are excited to introduce a class-leading bonded cellular service that addresses the real needs of live news and sports production professionals,” said Mickey Miller, CEO of Vislink. “There is a requirement in this market for robust REMI production solutions that are both reliable and cost-effective. Our solution is first and foremost quality-based, while also providing attractive financing and data plan options that fit different budget requirements, from day-to-day ENG productions to occasional use. With the launch of this bonded cellular offering, we are now able to offer an unmatched array of hybrid network options, both private and public, including COFDM, fiber, satellite and public IP. This gives live producers unparalleled flexibility to effectively deliver their content while optimizing their workflows.”

“As the industry moves toward 5G, and the demand for premium-quality, low latency, live video transmissions increases, we will continue to leverage Mobile Viewpoint’s innovations in bonded cellular, 5G and AI-powered automated production to provide compelling, market-focused solutions,” he added.
