5G-enabled mobile video encoders enable
broadcasters to cut costs and simplify operations by remotely
streaming high-definition video from live events
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), a world leading IoT
solutions provider, today announced that its EM9191 5G New Radio
(NR) module has been integrated into mobile video encoders from
AVIWEST, a leading provider of live and recorded video contribution
systems.
The EM9191 provides AVIWEST’s PRO360-5G and AIR320e-5G mobile
video encoders with the fast, low-latency, and reliable 5G
connectivity broadcasters need to remotely stream high-definition
or ultra-high-definition IP video from live sporting, news, and
other events. Using AVIWEST’s 5G-enabled mobile video encoders
broadcasters can reduce the complexity associated with live event
video productions and reduce travel, lodging, Outside Broadcasting
(OB) truck, satellite data transmission, and other costs associated
with these productions.
“5G will fundamentally transform live video production, making
it simpler and less expensive, while eventually enabling new, more
entertaining, immersive, and exciting viewing experiences with
additional mobile, Point of View (POV), and other cameras,” said
Ronan Poullaouec, CTO at AVIWEST. “With the Sierra Wireless EM9191
module, AVIWEST’s mobile video encoders can use 5G networks to
stream high-definition video from live events to broadcasters’
production facilities, allowing these broadcasters to realize the
cost, simplicity, and other benefits of 5G-powered remote video
production today.”
Broadcasters are already using recently introduced AVIWEST 5G
mobile video encoders equipped with the Sierra Wireless EM9191
module to stream high-definition video from live sporting events to
remote video production facilities. For example, Telefonica-owned
telecommunications provider Movistar used the AVIWEST AIR320-5G to
remotely broadcast live high-definition video from the 2021 Copa
del Rey basketball tournament. In addition, Broadcaster Cosmote TV
completed Greece’s first live television broadcast through a 5G
network using AIR320-5G units and robotic cameras to transmit audio
and video of the final game of the Greek Cup. Many PRO360-5G mobile
video encoders have also been used by broadcasters during the
latest Summer Games in Tokyo, for main event coverage as well as
for interviews and pre-game moments.
Sierra Wireless 5G Module Comes Out on Top in AVIWEST’s
Evaluation Process
AVIWEST selected the Sierra Wireless EM9191 module for its 5G
mobile video encoder after an extensive evaluation process that
included lab testing as well as field trials with network
operators. The evaluation process allowed AVIWEST to determine
that, in addition to competitive pricing and enabling a quicker
time-to-market, the Sierra Wireless EM9191 module offered them:
- Faster data speeds, lower latency, and more stable performance
than other 5G modules.
- A compact form factor that could be easily integrated into its
existing mobile video encoders.
- Better interoperability with its mobile video encoder
technology.
- Better compatibility with key network operators’ 5G
networks.
- Support for a larger number of different 5G wireless
frequencies, which enables the same AVIWEST mobile video encoder to
be used on 5G networks in Europe, North America, Asia and elsewhere
around the world.
- The ability to offer customers 5G mobile video encoder that can
operate on both existing non-standalone 5G networks and future
standalone 5G networks without having to change the module.
- Built-in, robust end-to-end security capabilities, including
HTTPS, secure socket, secure boot, and firmware over-the-air (FOTA)
updates, all from an established company headquartered in a country
that has strict laws in place to protect customer data.
After AVIWEST selected Sierra Wireless, they were able to
quickly integrate the module into their mobile video encoder,
allowing them to bring the new encoder to market in less than three
months.
“Sierra Wireless is moving 5G beyond the smartphone to
industrial, commercial, and other applications like remote live
video production,” said Jim Ryan, Senior Vice President of
Partnerships, Marketing, and IoT Solutions at Sierra Wireless.
“With innovative solutions like the EM9191 module, we provide
organizations like AVIWEST with the 5G connectivity they need to
launch new products and services that disrupt the status-quo and
change the way that entire industries do business.”
The EM9191 module for the broadband edge is currently available
globally, from Sierra Wireless’ global network of partners.
