Speed, flexibility and lean equipment are essential for mobile live journalism, especially for breaking news. However, fluctuating bandwidths can affect the quality of video transmissions and make planning more difficult. Even pre-assessment of a production site can only provide a snapshot, which can change quickly.
A promising solution is offered by 5G network slicing, which enables greater efficiency and flexibility than conventional satellite transmissions and higher reliability than previous mobile networks. Network slicing divides the mobile network into individual, specialized virtual network sections.
In this way, 5G Live Video Production always allocates sufficient network resources to video streams to ensure a high-quality video connection, even when networks are under heavy load. With this solution, high-quality videos can also be reliably transmitted in real time using streaming backpacks or even smartphones.
Professional broadcasters are already using streaming backpacks from manufacturers such as LiveU and Haivision for video streaming at outdoor events.
In combination with 5G Live Video Production from Deutsche Telekom, the LU 800 or Haivision Pro360, for example, becomes a truly mobile live streaming setup: live HD videos can be reliably transmitted outdoors even in areas without a fixed broadband network infrastructure.
In combination with the unit's other SIM cards, the 5G slicing SIM card in the backpack provides the necessary transmission security.
Even lighter, even smaller, even more flexible:
5G Mobile Journalism is Deutsche Telekom's offer for professional video streaming with selected smartphone models!
No matter where you are out and about, the solution is quickly set up and ready to go.
It's that easy to bring perfect HD moving images to your audience.
