On Call to Develop Second Generation of QuickSPOT
[Satellite TODAY 03-20-13] On Call Communications is developing the second generation of its QuickSPOT on-demand satellite network aiming to expand with higher upload speeds, dual feeds and new flexibility to choose between on-demand and scheduled service, the company announced March 19.
For this next generation network, On Call has selected the Romantis Universal Hardware Platform (UHP). QuickSPOT is designed to allow broadcast news and sports organizations to access higher upload speeds and enable dual HD video feeds. It will be equipped with a unique scheduling system, providing the opportunity for clients to schedule satellite and fiber network reservations online, direct feeds to their selected destinations then access capacity using the automated functionality of the current QuickSPOT network. These new features of high upload speeds, ability to create MESH networks and a compact design are ideal for a mobile, automated network suited for broadcasters.
"Our mission is to provide our client’s with easy and efficient satellite network access,” On Call CEO Jim Gilbert said in a statement, aiming for the new network to take just moments to book satellite space online and access it using the auto-deploy system.
