Media

Being first to a breaking story sets the best news channels apart. As a journalist, you know you have an edge if you can hop on a train, plane or in a car as a story breaks and file reports as soon as you arrive. Technology is no longer a hurdle. With Inmarsat's broadband data service, BGAN, journalists can send a stream of stories back to their newsroom as the drama unfolds no matter how remote the location.

BGAN offers a portfolio of guaranteed, on-demand IP streaming rates that gives international news channels the opportunity to broadcast high quality, live video from remote locations.

Journalists can send live broadcasts as soon as they arrive on location as BGAN terminals can be rapidly deployed with a live connection in minutes.

Our affordable BGAN IP streaming rate, 176kbps, coupled with our end-to-end live video solutions makes live broadcasting from remote locations a reality for smaller news channels.

You no longer have to rely on video footage provided by other broadcasters or have to hire a satellite newsgathering truck to cover major events. Instead, you can equip yourselves with BGAN and cover breaking stories on the spot, live.

And if you are among the first on the scene, you have the option of selling your footage to other broadcasters and news aggregators, who donat have people nearby.

With a BGAN standard IP data connection, news journalists can file their copy or submit their images directly from the field, rather than having to wait until they get to the nearest town with a terrestrial broadband connection.

Reliable, high-speed internet browsing means reporters can load their stories and pictures directly into their website״s content management system. Their stories contain richer content with photo galleries of stills from the scene and video interviews with eye witnesses.

Freelance photographers can upload their latest photos as high quality images to a picture library to sell to the highest bidder, or send them editors on spec; being among the first to do so means they can charge a premium.

Handheld satellite phones from Satwest are another great way for journalists to conduct interviews with the home office from the field and to report on new-breaking situations no matter they are happening, anywhere on the planet! Media customers also find portable Solstar solar chargers to be indispensible for charging their laptops, camera batteries, and satellite phones and BGAN units.
