“The 1.5-pound LiveEdge device mounts on the back of
“most broadcast cameras,” says the company. Once attached, the
device can enable bi-direction communication with the home TV
studio, over a range of commonplace wireless networks, including 3G
cellular data networks, as well as 4G WiMAX networks. Such networks
actually enjoy greater signal coverage than the private microwave
networks commonly used by news crews, according to the company,
allowing news crews to rove more widely.

“Depending on network availability and/or user needs, the
LiveEdge device can support video bitrates ranging from 250kbps to
10Mbps, Nomad Innovations claims. Customers can use the device to
transmit low-resolution video, standard resolution PAL/NTSC analog
video, or digital video in standard or even high definition.”
