TVU Breaks the Bond of Inflexible Broadcasting with Sierra Wireless Modules for Wireless Networks

TVU discovered the Sierra Wireless® MC Series networking modules for 4G LTE-Advanced and LTE networks. The industrial-grade Mini Card PCI-SIG® standards-based module enables easy integration of wireless on mobile platforms. The module offers plug and play connectivity on the world’s fastest LTE networks, providing unprecedented speeds, bandwidth and network performance. Global coverage on LTE-Advanced networks, including 4G LTE Cat-6, allows TVU to provide a mobile solution that easily switches cellular networks for consistently reliable, high bandwidth connectivity.

“Sierra Wireless provides our customers with the broadest coverage of wireless networks around the world in a single module,” said Matt McEwen, VP of product management at TVU Networks. “In addition, Sierra Wireless SDKs and technical support make development easy, and their authorized reseller network is excellent.”

MC Series modules are embedded in TVU Networks’ award-winning TVU One ultra-compact wireless uplink transmitter using IS+ to guarantee a reliable signal. With IS+, a video stream is separated into small packets and the packets are then transmitted across all available connections. The transmission is then re-aggregated at the receiving end with error correction applied and without the need for retransmission. This means that when broadcasting live from the field, broadcasters can easily transmit reliable video in HD with sub-second latency and have a solution that adapts to constantly changing bandwidth environments, such as in motion, and continues to deliver a dependable, high quality, professional picture.

Additional TVU One device features include one-button operation, pioneered by TVU and designed so that anyone can go live in seconds, and dual encoding to ensure a high-quality copy of a live transmission is saved to an internal SSD for later retrieval.
