Dejero On Hand For Winter Games Broadcasters

Dejero is to offer a range of on-location services in Sochi, Russia, for broadcasters covering the upcoming Winter Games.
The company will offer its technical services throughout February 5 - 24, including two days prior to the opening ceremony and one day after the closing ceremony.
Dejero will be providing customers that signed up for Sochi support services access to two private, fully licensed Wi-Fi hotspots.
The first, overlooking the Sochi Games Park, offers a backdrop for live shots and other video coverage from the Games' facilities for ice events. The other provides a panoramic view of the central square in the village of Krasnaya Polyana, the base location for alpine events.
Dejero customers will use the LIVE+ 20/20 Transmitters as well as the LIVE+ Mobile App installed on smartphones and tablets to transmit live coverage, as well as to store and forward video for later broadcast.
Both solutions enable field news reporters to encode and transmit HD or SD video directly over 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet connections.
The networks' master control personnel will use the cloud-based Dejero LIVE+ Portal to manage and control transmitters, monitor transmission health, and manage the distribution of content on-air and online.
"Although the Games don't begin until Feb. 7, our team has been onsite in Sochi for several weeks to test uplink connectivity and prepare the comprehensive technical support our customers have come to expect," said Brian Cram, CEO of Dejero.
"Major international broadcasters know they can count on Dejero to provide the reliable technology and service they need to cover the world's biggest and most-watched sports and news events, and to do it at a fraction of the cost of traditional satellite and microwave transmissions."
