The SatWare platform is a high-performance embedded computing and routing system that includes a highly configurable wireless router and a quad-core Intel Atom-based computing platform. The system provides direct access to the local network for smartphones, tablets and laptops without the need for any network configuration. The IP Optimisation Pack efficiently extends services, such as VoIP, intercom and network access for connection to a newsroom computer system or other internet service, to the field for first-on-scene broadcasters and in-field editors. This extends the studio network out to truly remote locations. SatWare works with the full range of Vislink SATCOM solutions, such as the NewSwift and its Mantis systems, and enables multiple IP connectivity enhancements.
The Motorised Mantis MSAT is a lightweight, satellite terminal that can be set up anywhere to provide secure and non-secure data and video transmission in as little as five minutes. It supports X- and Ku-band configurations ensuring worldwide coverage is available at all times. Frequency bands can be swapped in the field in under one minute. MSAT incorporates a HEVC 4K UHD low latency encoder designed for rapid deployment in hostile environments, which is ideal for satellite newsgathering, secure military communications, timely broadcasts, emergency services and disaster recovery.
In addition to the satellite solutions, IMT and Vislink will also display its HCAM, IMTDragonFly and MicroLite 2 portable transmitters as well as its rack-mounted UltraReceiver.
