This spring, starting may 19, the Olympic Torch will be carried in a relay around the UK. The Torch will be carried by different athletes and broadcasted live on the Internet, different regional and the national BBC channels.
The vehicle in front of the relay, responsible for the live coverage, will use the WMT (Wireless Multiplex Terminal) of Mobile Viewpoint to transmit the images using a combination of different mobile 3G networks. Mobile Viewpoint, in cooperation with the BBC, developed the Continuous Picture Technology (CPT) to ensure a smooth video link driving through the rough country side with varying mobile coverage conditions. The live coverage of the Olympic Torch Relay throughout the UK is challenging due to the long period and the distance but resolved by the Continuous Picture Technology.
Michel Bais, Managing Director Mobile Viewpoint: “With the WMT it is possible to have live video connections from any place and any location as long as there is coverage of a mobile network. It shows again that Mobile Viewpoint’s WMT technology provides an alternative for satellite connections and will lead to the development of new (reality) TV formats following people in their day to day life”.
Mobile Viewpoint is a Dutch based company and a subsidiary of Triple IT focusing on the development of Mobile Video Solutions for both security and broadcast industry. More information at www.mobileviewpoint.nl.
