\nThe EM9191 provides AVIWEST\u2019s PRO360-5G<\/a> and AIR320e-5G<\/a> mobile video encoders with the fast, low-latency, and reliable 5G connectivity broadcasters need to remotely stream high-definition or ultra-high-definition IP video from live sporting, news, and other events. Using AVIWEST\u2019s 5G-enabled mobile video encoders broadcasters can reduce the complexity associated with live event video productions and reduce travel, lodging, Outside Broadcasting (OB) truck, satellite data transmission, and other costs associated with these productions.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201c5G will fundamentally transform live video production, making it simpler and less expensive, while eventually enabling new, more entertaining, immersive, and exciting viewing experiences with additional mobile, Point of View (POV), and other cameras,\u201d said Ronan Poullaouec, CTO at AVIWEST. \u201cWith the Sierra Wireless EM9191 module, AVIWEST\u2019s mobile video encoders can use 5G networks to stream high-definition video from live events to broadcasters\u2019 production facilities, allowing these broadcasters to realize the cost, simplicity, and other benefits of 5G-powered remote video production today.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nBroadcasters are already using recently introduced AVIWEST 5G mobile video encoders equipped with the Sierra Wireless EM9191 module to stream high-definition video from live sporting events to remote video production facilities. For example, Telefonica-owned telecommunications provider Movistar used the AVIWEST AIR320-5G to remotely broadcast live high-definition video from the 2021 Copa del Rey basketball tournament<\/a>. In addition, Broadcaster Cosmote TV completed Greece\u2019s first live television broadcast through a 5G network<\/a> using AIR320-5G units and robotic cameras to transmit audio and video of the final game of the Greek Cup. Many PRO360-5G mobile video encoders have also been used by broadcasters during the latest Summer Games in Tokyo, for main event coverage as well as for interviews and pre-game moments.\n<\/p>\n\n Sierra Wireless 5G Module Comes Out on Top in AVIWEST\u2019s Evaluation Process<\/b><\/p>\n \nAVIWEST selected the Sierra Wireless EM9191 module for its 5G mobile video encoder after an extensive evaluation process that included lab testing as well as field trials with network operators. The evaluation process allowed AVIWEST to determine that, in addition to competitive pricing and enabling a quicker time-to-market, the Sierra Wireless EM9191 module offered them:\n<\/p>\n \nAfter AVIWEST selected Sierra Wireless, they were able to quickly integrate the module into their mobile video encoder, allowing them to bring the new encoder to market in less than three months.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cSierra Wireless is moving 5G beyond the smartphone to industrial, commercial, and other applications like remote live video production,\u201d said Jim Ryan, Senior Vice President of Partnerships, Marketing, and IoT Solutions at Sierra Wireless. \u201cWith innovative solutions like the EM9191 module, we provide organizations like AVIWEST with the 5G connectivity they need to launch new products and services that disrupt the status-quo and change the way that entire industries do business.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nThe EM9191 module for the broadband edge is currently available globally, from Sierra Wireless\u2019 global network of partners.\n<\/p>\n \nFor more information, visit: \nTo contact the Sierra Wireless Sales Desk, call +1 877-687-7795 or visit http:\/\/www.sierrawireless.com\/sales<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Note to editors:<\/b><\/p>\n \nTo view and download images of Sierra Wireless products, visit https:\/\/www.sierrawireless.com\/company\/image-gallery\/<\/a><\/p>\n About AVIWEST<\/b><\/p>\n\n AVIWEST<\/a> is a world-leading provider of IP-based video contribution systems.
