Livewire Digital Introduces SilverBlade II

Livewire Digital has introduced SilverBlade II, a unit that provides a resilient internet connection for broadcasters.

SilverBlade II bonds cellular and Wi-Fi services for broadcast professionals to deliver low latency live and file based media from cameras, laptops or mobiles.

The solution will be on display at stand 5.B48C during IBC 2018, from 14-18 September.

Using SilverBlade II, agile reporters can 'go live' rapidly and provide captivating breaking news stories and compelling content instantly from anywhere in the world to traditional TV consumers and mobile millennials.
 
SilverBlade II features Livewire Digital's Razorlink® technology which aggregates and bonds internet bandwidth across 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, DSL cellular networks and satellite to significantly enhance data transfer rates for fast delivery of video content. Connection dropouts – a key issue for TV crews on the move - are managed seamlessly by RazorLink® which automatically migrates to alternative networks and optimises the connection so users can make use of all the available bandwidth.

Razorlink® delivers on the 5G aspiration for seamless connectivity making use of current and next generation networks and enables reporters to deliver content via their own applications and infrastructure.

SilverBlade II supports global cellular modems as an integral part of the unit. The unlocked modems allow the use of any service provider, reducing costs and increasing flexibility.

Commenting on SilverBlade II, Tristan Wood, Managing Director, Livewire Digital, said: "We are proud to have made SilverBlade II the most cost-effective solution for broadcasting from cameras and smart phones. Its embedded RazorLink® software has been deployed all around the world providing first class network performance and ease of use from the most extreme locations including harsh or remote environments."
