Today, audiences demand their news in real-time. Staying ahead of the competition means being the first to broadcast — and that means staying constantly connected, no matter where the story takes you. Even if that story takes you to areas with unreliable or non-existent terrestrial connectivity, you can count on Viasat’s satellite connectivity services to help you stay in touch with your team and your audience, wherever and whenever the story takes place.
High-quality live broadcasting
Live newsgathering is time-critical. Seconds count, and they don’t stop ticking by just because you’re heading to a remote location. Now with Viasat’s services, you don’t have to worry about connectivity when you arrive on the scene — just get the shot and start broadcasting.
Viasat’s portfolio of satellite connectivity services enables high-quality live broadcasting and is designed for rapid deployment. For example, our Go-anywhere Flex service offers industry-leading speeds and reliability, combined with fly-away portable terminals. Our Go-anywhere Flex Event plan offers an occasional use function that utilizes our infrastructure to support reserving and scheduling a specific date and time block for a given location and plan to allow a higher throughput on Go-anywhere Flex terminals. Our Go-anywhere Pro HDR service also supports high data streaming rates and can be set up in minutes without any technical expertise, so you can get on air at a moment’s notice.
Store and forward content
Have you ever spent hours trying to capture the perfect shot, only to find that poor connectivity was preventing you from sharing it?
With the support of our global partners, we can ensure you stay connected with the studio and be the first to report on breaking news. With our IoT Pro service, you can shoot, edit, store, and then forward content back to base for broadcast immediately.
