SingTel demos streaming of live video from vehicle
Posted on Thu, Jul 24, 2008
Inmarsat partner SingTel ran a live demonstration of the Thrane & Thrane Explorer 727 vehicular BGAN terminal.
The event, attended by a large number of representatives from the media, took place at the CommunicAsia exhibition in Singapore.
Exhibition site
SingTel fitted a vehicle with the Explorer 727 terminal, which drove around the site of the exhibition.
Using a combination of the terminal, which features a roof-mounted antenna for constant satellite tracking on the move, and Streambox video technology, the vehicle was able to stream video footage taken from one of its windows to a screen located at SingTel’s expo stand.
Net access on the go
At the same time, some other customers in the vehicle tested the Explorer 727’s ability to connect to the internet while the vehicle was in motion.
The Explorer 727 offers users multiple voice and data interfaces, including ISDN for legacy applications, and four Ethernet ports.
