Solution at a Glance
ABonAir’s solutions enable the transmission of video content – over the air – directly from a camera to a news truck, without the need for cable deployment. The device is compact and lightweight and attaches easily to any handheld camera.
Customer’s Challenges
Being able to broadcast reliable, ongoing news events is critical for TV networks that are struggling to maintain ratings. Deployment of a wired system is time-consuming and costly, and is therefore simply not effective in today’s competitive environment. A wireless solution enables shortening deployment time dramatically and ensuring rapid time-to-air. In addition, wireless solutions enable absolute flexibility, allowing reporters to broadcast from anywhere under the most difficult conditions.
For OEMs struggling with the increasing complexity of broadcasting equipment and as development time increases, taking advantage of expert niche subcontractors assures success, short time to market, and minimal risk. ABonAir is there to meet our customers’ specific needs, in developing made-to-requirement, wireless video systems.
